It is a retelling of Creator/{{Aesop}}'s fable about the CityMouse and the CountryMouse, done in opulent Disney style. Abner the Country Mouse receives an invitation from his cousin, Monty the City Mouse, to come to the city and live with him in luxury. Abner shows up at Monty's, and Monty immediately shows him an opulent dinner table that has been laid out by what must be wealthy humans. Abner takes full advantage, wolfing down cheese, having a bad experience with mustard, and getting drunk on the champagne in a glass. But there's a problem, something that has been causing Monty to constantly shush his cousin--a cat.
