Twizzle, the boy toy with extending legs and arms, meets the new toy golliwog in the toy shop. Golliwog is intrigued by Twizzle's extending legs and arms. The next day a bad-tempered girl enters the toy shop to buy Twizzle. Frightened by the girl, Twizzle hides in the jack-in-the-box.

That night, Teddy advises Twizzle to run away or the girl will come back and buy him. Twizzle escapes from the toy shop and after much walking takes shelter in a dog kennel. The kennel's owner, a cat called Footso, enters the kennel and they introduce themselves. They become friends and, once rested, decide to set off in search of adventure
