Plot
The show follows the everyday adventures of 5-year-old Frances "Franny" Fantootsie (a portmanteau of "fantasy" and "tootsie") at her grandfather's shoe repair shop in Vancouver. They talk about various matters until a customer comes presenting shoes needing to be repaired. Franny's grandfather gives her the shoes to put inside the shoe repair box. Franny tries on the shoes, and they take her to magical places, such as a Native American powwow in Wyoming, a sunny beach in Jamaica, and a high mountain in China. At the end of each episode, after Franny solves the problem in the magical place she visits, she receives a treasure and adds it to her treasure box. She then solves her own problem.
