The stork delivers a baby elephant to Mrs Jumbo, veteran of the circus, but the newborn is ridiculed because of his truly enormous ears and dubbed "Dumbo". Dumbo is relegated to the circus' clown acts; it is up to his only friend, a mouse, to assist Dumbo to achieve his full potential.
Fun Fact: Casey Junior made his first appearance in footage that appeared in
The Reluctant Dragon when Robert Benchley is touring the sound effects department. The version is slightly different and much longer.
