A brontosaurus named Gertie emerges from her cave and performs various tricks for a circus ringmaster, (McCay), by eating a tree, catching an apple and giving the ringmaster a ride on her back.
A film that only depicts the dinosaur was designed to tour theatres while McCay, the comic strip artist who drew the original "Little Nemo in Slumberland", would stand to the side of the screen and interact with Gertie. The apple that McCay would throw to the cartoon goes behind the screen while Gertie catches an animated apple. McCay repeats this process when he rides on the dinosaur's back.
