Plot
The lost-and-found box in a kindergarten playground is home to Lou, a creature made from the assorted unclaimed items. Every day after recess, Lou picks up the toys that the children leave behind; the next day, he sets them out on the playground for their owners to find.
A bully by the name of J.J. starts taking others' toys, keeping them in his backpack. Lou starts to sneak the toys out of his backpack but J.J. catches him in the act and a chase ensues.
During the chase, Lou notices the name tag on J.J.'s underwear matches a toy left in the box, a teddy bear that belonged to J.J. but was taken from him by a similar bully. J.J. tries to retrieve the bear but Lou refuses to relinquish it until J.J. returns all the toys he took. Eventually, J.J. finds joy in reuniting the kids with their toys and excitedly returns all the toys in the box, even the ones that make up Lou. Returning to the box, J.J. sees his teddy bear is the last toy left and happily reclaims it.
