While a large circus spends the off-season in the "Winter Grounds" in Florida, a flock of white storks delivers babies to the animals.
One elephant, Mrs. Jumbo (Verna Felton), does not receive her baby, and keeps scanning the sky.
The circus sets out on a new tour, and a belated stork (Sterling Holloway) catches up with the moving train and drops off the expected baby elephant, Jumbo Junior.
Casey Junior (Margaret Wright), the sentient 2-4-0 tender locomotive hauling the circus train.
The other elephants (Catty (Noreen Gammill), Giddy (Dorothy Scott), Prissy (Sarah Selby)) are initially delighted, until they see the baby has far-oversized ears, and promptly nickname him "Dumbo".
However, Mrs. Jumbo shows her baby great care and love, defending him from the teasing of the other elephants.
Dumbo, clumsy due to his ears (he keeps tripping himself on his ears), is made into a sideshow attraction.
When some rowdy boys start blowing in and pulling Dumbo's ears, Mrs. Jumbo spanks their leader and throws hay bales at them.
Circus staff remove Dumbo from the pen, and Mrs. Jumbo flies into a rage, eventually dousing the ringmaster (Herman Bing) in a water tub.
Timothy, a mouse (Edward Brophy) that travels with the circus, befriends Dumbo and decides to make him a star.
After this, the other elephants exile Dumbo completely, and he is put in with the clowns' firemen act, regularly jumping from a "burning building" prop into a vat of pie filling.
Despite his newfound popularity, he hates the job and becomes depressed.
Timothy decides to take Dumbo to see Mrs. Jumbo, but they cannot see each other's faces and can only intertwine trunks.
Dumbo and Timothy are later discovered asleep high up in a tree by Dandy Crow (Cliff Edward) and his friends.
They decide to help Timothy, giving him a "magic feather" to help Dumbo fly.
During the clowns' act, Dumbo successfully flies about the big top, much to the delight of the public.
Dumbo gains fame and fortune, Timothy becomes his new manager and signs him to a Hollywood contract, and Mrs. Jumbo is freed.
She and Dumbo are given a private coach on the train, and the crows wave goodbye to the elephants as they travel away.
