Chubby is a teddy bear with a wool pullover and no pants. He felt ill, and he wanted to feel better. After an encouraging talk with his friend Superhero, he decided there was only one thing to do: go on an adventure through La La Land toy store.
The journey begins with Chubby taking off in a toy Volkswagen Beetle, to find Dr. Doll. Along the way he learns about leukemia, chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation, and is cured. Returning to his shelf, Chubby is given the best Christmas gift a teddy bear can have.
