Milko, the Hattytown milkman, is complaining of having to work day in and day out to deliver the milk to the people of Hattytown. Sancho, ever the helper, offers to handle the milk deliveries for a day in the near future. The day he helps happens to be the day of collection. However, every resident of Hattytown is "a little short this week", but because Sancho promised not to leave Milko high and dry on payments, every resident offers to cover their bill with items, basically using a barter system, which Sancho reluctantly agrees to. Milko was initially perturbed at this, but did see the lighter side of the situation.

Posty, Hattytown's postman, suddenly comes down with a cold. He informs Sancho it's because his boots are worn out and wet, but cannot afford new ones. Sancho and Carrots come up with the idea of using Posty's old boots to plant flowers in and sell to the people of Hattytown in order to raise enough money to buy him a new pair.

Sancho and Carrots notice Posty, Milko, and Mr. Bun are all working diligently at their respective jobs. Sancho, with the advice from Carrots, suggests each one of them take turns doing all three in one day, thus allowing the others to take a break, or focus on other tasks. The first day of this new arrangement ends up being the last as Milko goes ahead with delivering the milk, the baked goods, AND the mail. The first two customers take it in stride, but by the time he gets to Mr. Wimple, the town mayor, he is livid that everything is late, and that his iced buns are smushed under the mail sack, and there's icing on his mail. After he demands that each person do what they're proficient at, Carrots covers himself, claiming he never said it was a good idea.
