In 1945 Las Vegas, World War II veteran Frank Harris (Brad Pitt) is transported to a traditionally-animated realm named the "Cool World" following a traffic collision with a drunk driver. Forty seven years later, detained cartoonist Jack Deebs (Gabriel Byrne) creates a comic strip named "Cool World" along with femme fatale Holli Would (voiced by Kim Basinger). Holli voices her desire to enter the real world, but is declined help from Frank, who is now a detective in the Cool World. Jack is released from prison and is at this point well-known in the real world for his "Cool World" series of comic books. One night, he is transported to the Cool World and is smuggled into a club by Holli. Frank becomes aware of Jack's presence in the Cool World and aggressively confronts him, informing him that Cool World has existed long before Jack created the comic series (apparently Holli told him about through the drawings—Jack believed it was all his imagination) and warns him that "noids", humans from the real world, are not allowed to have sex with "doodles", the inhabitants of the Cool World. Without Frank's knowledge, Holli brings Jack back into the Cool World and the two have sex, causing Holli to transform into a noid (now played physically by Basinger).

While Frank attempts to mend his relationship with doodle Lonette (voiced by Candi Milo), he temporarily leaves detective duties to his assistant Nails (voiced by Charles Adler), who is soon informed that Jack and Holli have had sex and are now preparing to leave for the real world. He weakly attempts to stop them, but is quickly defeated by Holli, who goes on to enter the real world with Jack. Due to these actions, the interdimensional barrier between the real world and the Cool World is damaged, causing Jack and Holli to sporadically transform into clown-like doodles. Frank discovers that Nails has been done away with and decides to venture into the real world to pursue Jack and Holli. While contemplating their situation, Holli tells Jack about the "Spike of Power", an artifact placed on the top of a Las Vegas casino by a doodle who crossed into the real world. When Jack displays skepticism about the idea, Holli abandons Jack to search for the spike on her own. When Frank pursues Holli on the casino, Holli kills him by kicking him off the building. Holli finds and takes the Spike of Power, transforming her and Jack (now voiced by Maurice LaMarche) into doodles and releasing numerous monstrous doodles into the real world. Fighting off an increasing number of doodles as a superhero doodle, Jack returns the Spike of Power to its place, trapping him, Holli and the rest of the doodles in Cool World. Since Frank was killed by Holli while she was in doodle form, he is reborn in Cool World as a doodle, allowing him to pursue his relationship with Lonette.
