One day she discovers that her favorite "Jack in the Box" and chocolate soldier, along with several of their toy companions, have disappeared from the window. Heartbroken, she wanders up Fifth Avenue and looks in the window of a large mansion. There she sees her toys grouped around the Christmas tree of a wealthy little girl. She falls asleep on the steps and the little rich child, unknown to her parents, finds her and takes her to bed in her own room. The children fall asleep in each other's arms and have a wonderful dream. The toys, led by "Jack in the Box," take the little girls to Toyland and introduce them to Santa Claus. They watch Santa make his pretty toys. The dollies and tin soldiers dance for them, and they are very much shocked when the mother of the rich child wakes them up and asks who the little waif is. The daughter announces that she is a little girl whom she has adopted and insists upon her sharing all her Christmas presents. The children have a happy time playing with the toys, but cannot quite understand why "Jack in the Box" refuses to talk to them as he did in their marvelous journey to Toyland.
