## Episode summary

The episode begins in the back halls of Castle Leonardo, as King Leonardo and Tommy are riding the throne elevator system while discussing their plans to get a better deal from Nebula Enterprises. Once they reach the throne room, King Leonardo calls N.L.E and complains to Gene about being treated disrespectfully. To satisfy the irate king, Gene sends a complimentary gift in the form of a pile of pillows through the Monster delivery system. Gene explains to Leonardo that the pillow will cause nightmares involving Leeko to anyone who sleeps on them, making the user want to get rid of the pink Star Warrior. With this in mind, Leonardo and Tommy plan to sell the pillows to everyone in Puffy Town.

Later on, at Leeko's house, Hover complains about Leeko's excessive sleeping, but gives up on this and turns the TV on to watch Channel Lion Out Loud. On TV, an episode of Leeko and the King is on the air, where Leonardo is insinuating that Leeko has not been having good dreams. As this programming takes place, Milly eavesdrops on her family watching the same programming back at the castle and scolds them for it, but to no avail. The show then cuts to an advertisement for the pillows they recently obtained, telling the whole town that the pillows will induce sweet dreams and are available for free to anyone who picks them up. Milly's family is sold on the idea, as do the rest of the town. Milly runs over to Moonlight Man's living quarters to warn them that King Leonardo is up to something, but Moonlight Man urges her to actually try one of them before jumping to conclusions.

That night, Milly and the rest of the town are sleeping with the new pillows. King Leonardo is also curious to see how the pillows work, so he and Tommy try them out in the throne room. As soon as everyone is asleep, Gene and the dark mist figure (Nebula) get to work instilling nightmares into Puffy Town via the pillows. Milly experiences a nightmare of the from Leeko Comes To Puffy Town when Octogiant is eating the town's sheep. She wakes in fear and finds that Manny had the same bad dream. The two share her bed and try to sleep again, and Milly dreams of the moment when Leeko arrived in Usapia. Sir Chanter and Lady Chanter also dream of Octogiant and awake in fright. Other residents of Puffy Town are also experiencing nightmares about Leeko from previous episodes. Milly also dreams of the moment she asked Moonlight Man about Leeko and N.L.E., and a brief recap plays from A Dark And Story Night. Milly awakes under a strange spell and uttering "must destroy Leeko". She quickly snaps out of it and wakes Manny up, who appears to be suffering from the same illusion. After making the connection to the pillows, Moonlight Man and his apprentices enter the room to confirm her conclusion.

The group rushes to Leeko's aid to find that most of Puffy Town's residents are gathered outside his house, chanting "must destroy Leeko". Milly gets the crowd's attention as Moonlight Man and his squires slice the pillows open to reveal tiny Snoozers inside. This snaps the town out of their daze, as the Snoozers escape into the wilderness, with Chief Gordy commenting he's glad the little "bed bugs" are gone. Milly, still concerned about Leeko, asks where he is, until Hover reveals he has been asleep the whole time in his house instead of up in the tree where Leeko usually sleeps. The group then checks in on Leeko, who they find has not been using the pillow. King Leonardo decides to try out the last pillow on Leeko as he continues to snooze. Leeko soon has nightmares of all the times he was attacked throughout the series. He wakes up in a panic and runs screaming out of his house into the morning light. As he realizes there's no danger, he turns around to find the town assembled and laughing, as Moonlight Man slashes the last pillow. Although he is offended for a moment, Leeko soon lightens up and rejoins the crowd as the episode ends.
