In Paris, a cat follows a burglar on his nightly raids across the rooftops, afterwards returning to the room of his owner, a little girl who has stopped talking after her father died. Her mother is a police officer who is investigating a mobster responsible for his death. The girl is kidnapped, the burglar, with the aid of the cat, rescues her and there is a happy ending. At less than an hour, it's characters are underdeveloped and the story too predictable, but it does have some gorgeous hand-drawn artwork.
