When the woodworker Geppetto (Christian Rub) sees a falling star he wishes that the puppet he just finished Pinocchio (Dickie Jones) could become a real boy. In the night the Blue Fairy (Evelyn Venable) grants Geppetto s wish and asks Jiminy Cricket (Cliff Edwards) to serve as the wooden boy s conscience. But the naive and trusting Pinocchio falls into the clutches of the wicked Honest John (Walter Catlett) who leads him astray to the sinful Pleasure Island.
