An animated adaptation of the novel "The Dolls' House" (1947) by Rumer Godden, which depicted sentient dolls. Tottie is a Victorian era-doll who survived into the 20th century. She starts the series living with a surrogate family of other dolls, but missing the luxurious doll house where she used to live. Her current owners are the sisters Emily and Charlotte Dane, who soon inherit that Victorian era-dollhouse from their great aunt. Tottie is reunited with her former housemate Marchpane, a vain beauty. Marchpane is craving attention and influence over her owners, and consequently dislikes having to share anything with her new roommates. She starts planning the demise of the other dolls.
