Dumbo's clown act involves falling from an enormous platform in a dramatized fire rescue into a vat of pie filling. Due to Dumbo's long ears, the act fails, the big top falls to the ground, the other elephants are injured, the circus has to relocate, and Dumbo is unceremoniously reduced to a clown. Timothy subliminally convinces The Ringmaster (in his sleep) to set up a "pyramid of pachyderms," to the top of which Dumbo will jump (using a springboard). A mouse named Timothy befriends Dumbo, and crafts a plan to make the sorrowful little elephant a star in the circus. Jumbo is imprisoned as a "mad elephant" after trying to defend her son from a crowd of antagonizing boys. The mother ignores them, however, until Mrs. The elephant, nicknamed " Dumbo" is teased by the sarcastic female elephants. Jumbo's baby is delivered to her belatedly by an exhausted stork, and the baby elephant is well received by the other elephants - until the size of his ears are revealed after he sneezes. The film takes place in a circus setting in Florida, possibly in present-day 1941, and starts with a formation of storks delivering newborn babies to various circus animals.
