A quirky suburban couple adopts a mouse from an orphanage and take them home as their new "son". Their other, human, son, isn't buying it, nor is their pet cat, who schemes with some alley cats to get rid of him. They send a married couple posing as Stuart's real parents, and he reluctantly goes to live with them. His human parents soon discover the ruse and launch a massive manhunt to find him. However, it is not until the cat gets invovled that they have any success. If you can somehow suspend disbelief enough to accept the rather far-fetched premise, it can be a lot of fun.
