Circus impresario Marc Medici appoints former circus star Holt Farrier and his children Milly and Joe as caretakers of a newborn baby elephant whose incredibly large ears instantly become the subject of constant jokes and mockery from Holt's fellow circus workers. Upon suddenly discovering that Dumbo can fly, the circus owner decides to capitalize on the elephant calf's unusual abilities. Energetic entrepreneur V. A. Vandevere gets involved, deciding to turn little Dumbo into the main star of his grand new entertainment venture, "Dreamland."
