Ventriloquist's wood puppet Brooklyn Birch found himself in a dream, a dream where a breathtakingly beautiful Porcelain Doll was on a walk with him on a forest path, only to be snatched by an iridescent dragon. He was on the brink of rescuing her when he was abruptly pulled back to reality. His puppet hand instinctively reached for the phone to share his dream with his ventriloquist, Mister Lewis, before the show. But his inner voice, stern and unyielding, halted him. It commanded, "Put down the phone and say nothing about your silly dream. Please get to the theater, tell the silly jokes, take a bow, and get off the stage. And, for heaven's sake, stop him trying to tell you why people play make-believe. They do. Tell him to get real... for heaven's sake!"
