A boy and his mother walk along a high street and turn into a toy shop. The shopkeeper shows the boy various toys, including several dolls and a model car. Later, at home, the little boy is tucked up in bed by his mother and dreams that the toys come to life. The toys mill around in an open street setting until the car crashes and explodes. The little boy wakes, having fallen out of bed, and is comforted by his mother.
