Ollie snappily figures out that the dark swash is actually the Ohio swash, and they take a steamboat lift to cross over to the other side, the megacity of Louisville. Rosy makes it clear from the veritably start that she doesn't consider Ollie’s charge to be of any significance and is only there to accompany Zozo, with whom she had a history. When she sees an altitudinous structure that resembles the white palace on Ollie’s chart, she doesn't tell the rabbit anything about it, and it's only when Ollie sees it for himself that he realizes that it's their coming destination.

The educated zany also figures out the coming indication, i.e., what the mark couplet on Ollie’s chart could mean, and points him towards the nearest train tracks. This indeed works, as Ollie thinks of how Billy used to call trains “ couplet ” in his nonage, and his father would call weight trains “ mark couplet ” to play along with the boy’s childishness. The three now make their way to the railyard and hop onto a moving weight train.

Walking into the demesne, which was named Dreamland during its functional days, Zozo turns on all the lights and asks the toy bunny whether he remembers anything about the place. As Ollie grows kindly confused, effects take a dark turn, as Zozo hums the tune of the song Ollie had earlier sang, the same bone that Billy’s mama used to always sing, and also makes it known that he'd brought Ollie to Dreamland on purpose. The zany says that the sound of a bell inside Ollie, which actually serves as his heart, had reminded him of his lost love, Nina, and also the song that the bunny sings verified in his mind that he knew commodity about Nina, for the song, would always keep playing at the recreation demesne.
Zozo now turns evil and holds Ollie interned, beating him terribly to force him to reveal any information about Nina, indeed though the bunny actually admits that he noway knew anyone called Nina.

Despite the zany telling her to torture Ollie, she cuts him loose and lets him escape, indeed trying to keep Zozo detracted during Ollie’s attempt to flee.

It was a cube named Bali Hai, in which a rustic poppet named Nina used to dance to music, and Zozo set up himself rather attracted to her. Nina, too, expressed her magnet toward the zany, and gradationally she'd sneak up to Zozo’s cube at night, and the two would spend romantic hours together. The song “ All I've to do is a dream ” by the Everly Sisters used to play in the demesne at this time, and it had come associated with Nina’s memory in Zozo’s mind. This was indeed the same song that Ollie had before sung, the bone
that Billy’s mama used to sing too. All went well until the recreation demesne was closed in 1970, and all the particulars were auctioned off. Right in front of Zozo’s eyes, his cherished Nina was bought off and taken down by a youthful girl and her father, and the zany was left alone. Eventually, later, a storm sounded to bring down all the booths at the abandoned demesne, and Zozo was eventually set free from the fixed stage and spring. Chancing a brace of doll legs, he'd sutured them onto his lower body and had come complete. Next, he went on, searching for his love, as he believed he could still unite with her.

Since also, he'd made his way to Flossie’s providence store and remained there after losing a stopgap of chancing Nina again. It was also that he suddenly heard Ollie’s bell tinkling and realized that it was the same bell that Nina had on her body. It was for this that he started to help Ollie, for he believed the bunny could lead him to his nut, and when Ollie couldn't say anything, he turned against him. All this while, Rosy had been looking for her close friend and rescuer, for she knew he'd end up harming himself and others and decided to tag along when she eventually set up her. still, she eventually decided to stand up against his evil nature when Ollie told her about love, and how it was love that was making him look for Billy with similar despair.
Had Billy Abandoned Ollie?

and took him down. While driving him back home, Billy’s father eventually realized his mistake and opened up to his son.

While “ Lost Ollie ” craftily combined the two sides of Ollie and Billy looking for each other, the two sides were taking place in two different timelines. Ollie had remained unconscious numerous times before waking up inside the providence store, and this was why he'd lost so much of his memory. While Billy had tried looking for him within a day or two of their separation, Ollie was looking for his stylish friend numerous times latterly.
At present, Ollie walks into the empty house and sees the wall of filmland that Billy had in his room. He sees one of the missing bills that Billy had made for him on the wall and realizes that his stylish friend had tried to look for him.

She had dearly loved Nina and played with her so important that the doll had fallen piecemeal out of use. still, the mama couldn't throw her down and rather decided to pass on Nina’s presence ever. After suturing up Ollie, she darned the bell that Nina had on her body into Ollie’s body, making it the heart of the new toy for her baby son. As Ollie looks at a snap of the mama as a youthful girl with Nina in her hands, Zozo appears behind him and vengefully chases him. The zany catches up with Ollie and beats him down when the bunny tells him the verity about Nina. For a moment, Zozo seems to be apologizing, but the bitterness in him takes over snappily, and he pulls out Nina’s bell from outside Ollie. Before he can fully take piecemeal the bell and kill Ollie, as it's his heart, Rosy appears and kills Zozo with her brand, before herself falling dead because of the earlier brand stab. As rain heavily poured down from the skies that night, the three toys lay around breathless in billabongs
of water.
