Temple plays Mytle, a selfish young girl who is depressed by the fact that her family doesn't have much money. One night, Light (Helen Ericson) decides to help Mytle and her brother Tytle (Johnny Russell) locate the Blue Bird of Happiness. She transports them into the past (where they meet their deceased grandparents), to the Land of Luxury (where they receive anything their hearts desire), and into the future (where they meet children who have yet to be born). To keep them company on their quest, Light transforms the siblings' dog Tylo (Eddie Collins) and cat Tylette (Gale Sondergaard) into human form. Wanting free of her masters, Tylette attempts to sabotage their quest for happiness so that they never return home and she never has to go back to being a cat.
