11-year-old Kevin's parents ignore him in favour of keeping up with the neighbours by purchasing all the latest household gadgets. Without their attention, Kevin has become a history buff, particularly of the Ancient Greek period. One night, Kevin is awakened from his sleep by a knight on horseback bursting through his wardrobe and riding off into a forest that has appeared in place of his bedroom wall. When Kevin looks back around, though, he finds his room returned to normal. The next night, he urges his parents to let him go to bed early; he is again awakened by sounds from the wardrobe, but this time six dwarves stumble out. The dwarves seem to be on a mission and they initially mistake Kevin for someone from whom they have stolen a map. After realising Kevin is only a little boy, they discover that they can push his bedroom wall as if on wheels
