On a quiet suburban road a motor car appears from around a corner in the distance. Two male pedestrians cross the road in front of the vehicle. As the car approaches it is seen to contain a male driver and three high-spirited female passengers waving handkerchiefs towards the camera. The car reaches the foreground and explodes without warning, leaving a smouldering pile of twisted wreckage. A policeman (played by Hepworth himself) happens to be passing, takes out a telescope and looks up to the sky. After a lapse of several seconds he has to dodge out of the way as torsos and severed limbs (but no heads) start to rain down around him. Unperturbed, the helpful policeman takes out his notebook and begins the task of reassembling the assorted body parts, still neatly clothed, into identifiable human beings, conscientiously making notes as he goes.

Alice appears to be in her own bedroom, when a taxidermically stuffed rabbit comes to life and breaks out of its glass case. Alice follows the rabbit through the drawer of a desk into a cavern. She subsequently falls through a bucket and seemingly down an elevator shaft. Wonderland itself is a mix of drab household-like areas with incongruous relationships of space and size. The Queen's execution sentences are carried out by the White Rabbit with a pair of scissors. At the film's end, Alice wakes in her room, discovers that the rabbit is still missing from his glass case, and finds a secret compartment where he keeps scissors. She ponders whether or not she will cut his head off. The film is ambiguous about whether this room is Alice's real world or "Wonderland".

Mickey, qui s'est endormi en lisant le célèbre roman de Lewis Carroll De l'autre côté du miroir, se « dédouble ». Son subconscient traverse alors la glace accrochée au mur de sa chambre, de l'autre côté de laquelle les meubles et autres objets sont vivants. Après avoir dégusté une noix, notre héros grandit puis rapetisse jusqu'à ressembler à une véritable souris. Le téléphone, posé sur une table, reçoit un appel et lance sa ligne à Mickey. Celui-ci s'en aide pour rejoindre le combiné téléphonique et au terme d'un dialogue de sourd, l'appareil se sert de son fil comme d'une corde à sauter — prétexte à un numéro de claquettes puisqu'une radio s'est allumée toute seule et diffuse de la musique. Le danseur est envoyé dans un cendrier, dont un élément amovible devient un haut-de-forme tandis qu'une allumette fait office de canne. Nouveau numéro jusqu'à la découverte de cartes à jouer qui exécutent à leur tour une marche militaire suivie d'une chorégraphie plutôt élaborée.
