While their owner Marcella is away, the nursery dolls come to life, learning from Fido the dog about newborn kittens hidden in the barn by a protective Mamma Cat who initially distrusts him. Upon returning, the kind and wise Raggedy Ann encourages trust between Fido and Mamma Cat and persuades the mother cat to bring the kittens into the nursery, assuring her the family is kind. Marcella is thrilled to discover the kittens the next morning, names them, and gets to keep them, demonstrating themes of trust, friendship between different creatures, and overcoming fear.
