The short is essentially a string of slap‑slap‑slap sight‑gags built around the difficulty of falling asleep. It opens with Felix the Cat and four identical feline clones yowling while a man tosses in bed, then follows Felix as he runs into a parade of absurd obstacles in his futile attempts to meet Morpheus, the personification of sleep.
