Loosely based on the comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland, the film went through a lengthy development process with a number of screenwriters. Ultimately, the screenplay was credited to Chris Columbus and Richard Outten; the storyline and art style differed from the original version.
- Upon falling asleep that night, Nemo is approached by figures from the parade. The circus organist introduces himself as Professor Genius and claims that they had been sent on a mission by King Morpheus, the king of a realm named Slumberland. The mission involves Nemo becoming the playmate of the princess, Camille. Although Nemo initially has reservations about interacting with royalty of the opposite gender, he decides to set off to fulfill his mission after being persuaded with a gift box of cookies from the princess. Nemo is taken to Slumberland in a dirigible which he is allowed to drive, causing some chaos and is introduced to King Morpheus, who doubles as the circus ringmaster in Earth. Morpheus reveals that he summoned Nemo to become his heir to the throne. Morpheus gives him a golden key that opens every door in the kingdom and warns him of a door with a dragon insignia that must never be opened. Nemo is introduced to Princess Camille and the pair roam the entirety of Slumberland together. Afterward, he meets the mischievous clown, Flip, who upsets a group of cops which forces him and Nemo to hide out in an underground cave. There, Nemo discovers the door that Morpheus had warned him not to open, but Flip tempts Nemo into unlocking the door which unleashes the dreaded Nightmare King. Nemo rushes back to Morpheus' castle in time for his coronation ceremony where he is handed the royal scepter, the only thing capable of defeating the Nightmare King should he ever return to Slumberland. In the middle of a dance session between Morpheus & Genius, the Nightmare King reaches the castle and steals Morpheus away. As the partygoers search for a scapegoat, Flip reveals that Nemo was responsible for the Nightmare King's escape since Morpheus gave him the key. Nemo wakes up in his home which floods with seawater and ejects him into the ocean. Genius discovers Nemo and tells him not to blame himself for what has happened. When they return to Slumberland, Flip reveals that he has a map to Nightmare Land where Morpheus is currently being held. Nemo, Camille, Flip and Genius set off in a tugboat in search of Morpheus. They are soon sucked into a whirlpool and they find themselves in the monster-infested Nightmare Land. The four of them come across a group of shapeshifting goblins who wish to aid in the quest to find Morpheus. The Nightmare King sends a flock of frightening giant bats to seize the rescue party. Nemo tries to use the scepter, but he wakes up in his bed instead where goblins appear in his room. The group travels to Nightmare Castle by flying through a hole in the sky. However, they get imprisoned in the castle where the Nightmare King demands possession of the scepter. Nemo uses the scepter to finally eliminate the Nightmare King once and for all & Slumberland celebrates the fall of the Nightmare Kingdom. Camille escorts Nemo home on dirigible & they share a kiss after which Nemo wakes up in his room where he apologizes to his mother for breaking his promise and trying to take the pie. Nemo's parents also agree to take him to the circus. Nemo is shown looking out the window as he reflects on his adventure.
