 A toy stuffed dog has just been sewn together when it hears a young child ask for an orange. The child s mother explains that they have no money, and so she cannot buy any oranges. The dog is then packed up along with a box full of other toys to be sold, but it soon winds up in the street. The dog picks up an orange from a curbside stand, and hopes to take it home to the child. But that night, before the dog can get back to the child s home, it must face a series of strange and frightening adventures.
