A spoiled country cat named Mewsette dreams of the big city of Paris and runs away at the first chance, followed by her country admirer and his young sidekick. She is befriended by a city slicker who takes advantage of her naivety and hands her over to a "madame" for a make over, with the ultimate plan of selling her as a mail order bride. After a long trek, her country friends arrive in the city and begin to look for her, but end up in the hands of the same city slicker who tricks them and sends them to Alaska. They strike gold and make their way back to Paris to rescue Mewsette, now homeless on the streets. Enjoyable animated feature from UPA, with Judy Garland providing the speaking and singing voice of Mewsette and Robert Goulet as her admirer. Although the animation itself is rudimentary, the backgrounds are bright, colorful palettes inspired by the best French artists of the late 1800's, the time period in which the story is set.
