11-year-old Lisa doesn't have time for toys because she's too busy caring for her siblings and feeding her mother. Lisa journeys to Toyland in a Wizard of Oz-style manner during the Christmas Eve snow, arriving just in time for a wedding. Despite her feelings for Jack Be Nimble, young Mary Contrary is ready to marry cruel, elderly Barnaby Barnacle. Lisa tries to put a halt to the dreadful wedding, and she and her new pals discover Barnaby's plan to take over Toyland. Lisa, Mary, Jack, and Georgie Porgie seek assistance from the Toymaster, but he is unable to assist them so long as Lisa does not believe in toys.
