Morpheus reveals that he summoned Nemo to become his heir to the throne. Nemo is taken to Slumberland in a dirigible which he is allowed to drive, causing some chaos and is introduced to King Morpheus, who doubles as the circus ringmaster on Earth. Although Nemo initially has reservations about interacting with royalty of the opposite gender, he decides to set off to fulfill his mission after being persuaded with a gift box of cookies from the princess. The mission involves Nemo becoming the playmate of the princess, Camille. The circus organist introduces himself as Professor Genius and claims that they had been sent on a mission by King Morpheus, the king of a realm named Slumberland. Upon falling asleep that night, Nemo is approached by figures from the parade. Later that night, Nemo imitates sleepwalking in an attempt to sneak some pie away, which acts against a promise he had made earlier to his mother. However, Nemo is unable to see the circus because his father and his mother are too busy to take him. Upon awakening the next day, he goes to see a parade welcoming a traveling circus. Set in 1905 (the year the Little Nemo comic strip premiered in the New York Herald), the film opens with the young boy Nemo experiencing a nightmare in which he is pursued by a locomotive.
