In Victorian London, a young mouse seeks the help of the brilliant but reclusive detective Basil of Baker Street. Her toymaker father has been kidnapped by a peg-legged bat. The investigation reveals a sinister plot masterminded by Basil’s archnemesis, the criminal mastermind Professor Ratigan. The clever detective and his loyal assistant must race to thwart Ratigan’s scheme to usurp the mouse queen and rule all of Mousedom.
