Plot

A five-inch-tall dwarf elephant stows away on a banana shipment to an unnamed city. Several skits follow showing the elephant appearing in random places, with people and other animals reacting to it with screams of terror. Mistaken for hallucinations, sightings of the tiny elephant lead to chaos. The short ends with a television broadcast of a scientist trying to calm the public by dismissing its existence. The elephant then shows up at the station; the scientist fails to notice it, but the host does and faints in horror.
