The show is about a group of home appliances that live in a suburban house. They are nocturnal, meaning they are able to sleep in the day and be awake in the night. Among these characters are staunch Mrs. Fork, gentle Spoon, cheerful Mr. Bowl, curious Baby Towel, his caring mother Mommy Towel, and adventurous and intelligent Pencil. In each episode, they encounter an everyday problem that they must conquer before Kevin, the boy living in the house, wakes up.
