Farmer Blue comments that Buttermilk Hollow needs a fairy godmother to prevent a toothpick factory from moving in and buying up land; the next day, dairy products begin showing up in strange places. Despite greedy Mayor Clabber's best efforts to thwart the dairy fairy, her magic saves the town and wins the mayor over in the end. The whimsical illustrations add humor to the facile story.
