Plot
Walter's father finds him jumping on his bed and warns him not to do it: "One day it’ll crash right through the floor." Walter tries to go to sleep but hears his friend Delbert in the apartment above jumping on his bed. But even though Walter tries to stay away from jumping on his bed, he has a second thought. He thinks to himself that if Delbert may jump on his bed, he can too. Because of that, Walter decides to have just one more jump himself. But instead, he keeps jumping higher and higher until the floor starts to crack. He and his bed fall into Miss Hattie's dining room; where he lands in her plate of spaghetti and meatballs. When Miss. Hattie finds Walter in her plate of spaghetti, she says that she did not expect her company for dinner.

Walter and his bed continue to fall, along with Miss Hattie and the spaghetti, into Mr. Matty's apartment where he is watching the dinosaurs on his television set. Miss Hattie falls into Mr. Matty's lap, while Walter lands in his fish tank. The next stop for Walter's bed and the ever-growing crowd is Walter's Aunt Batty's room. Aunt Batty is still unpacking from her move to her room when she sees her nephew crashing through her ceiling.

Aunt Batty's stamp collection gets scattered all over the floor. Aunt Batty and her stamps join the group as it falls into the next apartment, knocking over a castle of toy blocks that Patty and Natty have been building. Patty, Natty, and Fatty (their cat) are added to the group as it falls down into Mr. Hanratty's apartment where he is painting a picture at his easel. Walter, Miss Hattie, Mr. Matty, Aunt Batty, Patty and Natty, Mr. Hanratty, the cat, the paint, the spaghetti, the television (with the dinosaurs), the fish, and various toys now land in Maestro Ferlingatti's apartment where he and his string quartet are practicing. They too join the tumbling crowd who all end up safely in the dark and quiet basement of the building.

Walter is back in his bed and realizes that it has all been a dream, but he promises himself that he is never again going to jump on his bed again; and hopes that Delbert may learn his lesson as well. Walter at last settles in for the night. But then, Walter hears Delbert jumping on the bed again. Shortly later, Delbert falls through Walter's ceiling. And down and down falls Delbert. All because of Delbert who has caused this on Walter, the same things might happen in Walter's dreams for Delbert. The same things may happen in Walter's dreams thanks to Delbert. But it is not going to be Walter that causes it.
