The word GREETINGS floats through space before being absorbed by an envelope. This is caught by a heavenly postman in the clouds, who descends to earth. As he does so, he is watched by a mischievous angel through a telescope. Another angel sits on a cloud typing the word GREETINGS.

The angel with the telescope turns it towards the earth, and sees a newborn baby on a lily-pad. A stork picks him up in his beak and lets him ride on his back. The stork delivers the baby to a married couple, followed by the letter containing the word GREETINGS. The couple hesitantly embrace and kiss, silhouetted by the moonlight. The angel delivers another GREETINGS message.

A child unwraps its birthday presents, including a doll and a teddy bear. A GREETINGS message arrives.

A fisherman sits on a jetty in the rain, and catches a disappointingly tiny fish and a large GREETINGS message, respectively.

A boxer knocks his opponent out, whereupon he is sent a GREETINGS message.

A fox trots through a field, chased by hunters and hounds, which he evades by climbing a tree. The angel-postman (now riding a hobby-horse) delivers a GREETINGS message.

A message appears in the sky: "It's Heaven to receive a Greetings Telegram. Be an Angel and Send One!"
