The short centers on a baby that is half human, half duck that becomes fascinated with a box of matches with the image of a swan imprinted on it that an adult left on the kitchen counter. As his toys watch, he breaks out of his crib and manages to discover his wings, which had been taken away from him at birth, from a cupboard. The baby grabs the matches and lights one, only for one of his wings to catch fire, plunging him into a sink full of water. His toys then spring into action in an attempt to rescue him, some destroying themselves in the process of trying to get to him. The baby manages to pull the plug, draining the water and inadvertently sending some of his toys down the drain. The baby is then shown motionless at the bottom of the sink except for a single hand twitch. A toy falls next to him and it's left ambiguous as to whether he survived the ordeal.
