A young boy in 1944 is abducted by the Boogeyman, dragged by the ankles into the closet realm known as The Dark. The boy's puppy rallies his toys to follow his master in a rescue mission. Once in the closet, each of those toys become menacingly large and agile creatures who engage in a war with the Boogeyman's forces. Those armies are comprised of the other toys stored in the closet, a mix medieval knights, cowboys and toy soldiers.
