Plot

A sleepy infant finds himself transported from his cradle to the "Lullaby Land of Nowhere", a dreamland where pacifiers grow on trees; diapers, bottles, and potty chairs march on parade; and the baby's stuffed gingham dog comes to life. He wanders into the "Forbidden Garden", which contains dangerous objects such as scissors, tacks, screws, nails, shears, connecting wires with alligator clips, carving forks, carving knives, jackknives, corkscrews, bottle openers, and fountain pens that the baby "mustn't touch". He callously smashes watches with hammers and plays with giant matches. The burning matches chase after him. The baby and his dog escape across a pond, using a huge bar of soap as a raft, but the smoke from the matches turns into three boogeymen, who chase him before vanishing. The benevolent Sandman, dressed as a wizard, spots the baby hiding and works his magic, sending him to sleep in his own cradle at home.
