When a toy maker is kidnapped by a bat from his shop, his young daughter searches for a famous detective to help find him. Becoming lost herself, she gets help from a passing gentleman who escorts her the rest of the way. The reluctant detective mouse, living in the same building as one Sherlock Holmes, eventually realizes her father has been kidnapped by Ratigan, a master criminal he has been seeking, and agrees to help. They follow clues to a toy shop where the girl is kidnapped. Basil and his sidekick find more clues which lead them to Ratigan's hideout, but are ambushed and left to die in an elaborate trap. They manage to escape and pursue Ratigan through the air on a dirigible, crashing into London's Big Ben clock for the final confrontation. Winning Disney entry with Vincent Price particularly enjoyable as the villain Ratigan. Famous clock sequence made very early use of computer assisted graphics.
