A little mouse who is fed up with her bad life in winter wishes to be a kitten. The magic lantern grants her wish. As soon as she becomes a cat, she is chased by a dog and finally snatched by the strongest cat in the neighborhood. The cat keeps scenting the mouse, but can't figure out her secret. Only when the mouse cat's friends try to save her does the situation become frightening.
