Laura makes a new friend, Olga Nordstrom, a shy girl who walks with a limp because one leg is shorter than the other. Olga's father is so protective that he barely lets her join in with the other children.
Charles has an idea: a specially built shoe that might let Olga run and play. Her father resents the interference, and the two men clash. The episode also pits Nellie's fancy town party against a country gathering, and it ends with Olga doing something she never thought possible.
