Yes. A book or movie can have many plots or subplots within its story.

@samkhan,
Well, that's the correct meaning, context is important though.
The common use of the term multistory, is to describe a building.
My friend lives in a multistory apartment building.
Meaning the building has multiple floors, (Stories).

A lot like her daddy I see... All you need is an excuse... So rare to see a self assured ass ask a question... Does it make you feel: WEAK???

Levels of meaning don't have much to do with sub plots... Every work can be compared with others for meaning all the way from literal to anagogic... Some works are not meaningful on every level, and almost all are meaningful on severl... I have a book around here on literary criticism... I will try to dig it up..

I will tell you that definition is wrong, and I bet I can prove it... The only likely hitch is finding a book and if I don't have them on every level of my house in at least ten different cases and cabinates then you can kiss my ass...
During my short stay, one year, at university, I was an English Major and did consider becoming a writer... It was in the process of writing and trying to write better that I learned about Magic, Anthropology, Theology, Philosophy, and History as well as becoming well acquanted with certain writers of fiction, which is a process going on for me yet today...Do I know what ever the writer intended multistory meaning to mean when he wrote it??? That would be efin impossible without more information... I do know that writers deliberately reference other stories, as in Billy Bud referencing the story of Jesus' crucifixtion, and even the tree of life as the cross referencing the Genesis story of the tree of knowledge which is the tree of death... But is this any different than Bob Dillon refering to the line of crosses as a Watch Tower, and that being the name of a famous Christian publication??? No one writes in a vacuum... Every good writer copies and builds upon certain themes which register Archetipically with humanity from our earlies myths...

@Fido,
You can't even tell what post of yours I was responding to. I don't expect you to be able to find anything anywhere.

Whack.

I'm starting to understand why people respond to you as they do.

This is where British English scores - we have different spellings for story (tale or account) and storey (floor of a building). Plurals are stories and storeys.

@contrex,

That is what I was going to say.

A carpark can be multi-storey. Multistory is a confusing word and should be avoided. There are better ways of expressing the idea. At the very least, it should be written with a hyphen.
