A new workman is very much impressed by the different toys displayed in the shop. He falls asleep and dreams the following dream: In putting the toy soldier through his tricks he breaks him, and to appease the furious toy maker offers to take the place of the toy soldier until the necessary repairs are made. In a wooden box and dressed in the clothes of the toy soldier the workman is delivered to the home of the purchaser. There he is forced to do all the tricks performed by the toy soldier. That night in trying to locate the pantry he discovers burglars entering the house. Still posing as the toy soldier, he is able to outwit the burglars and take their weapons from them. He then calls the household, who take the burglars in charge. They forgive him for his deception because of this service. In a short time a cable is received with the information that the real toy soldier is repaired and on the way. Unfortunately he wakes and finds it a dream.
