A brave and unusually small mouse with large ears loves reading stories of knights and chivalry. He breaks the mouse community's strictest rule by revealing himself to a human princess. He is banished to the rat-infested dungeons, where he must befriend a servant girl and a good-hearted rat to save the princess and restore light to the kingdom of Dor.
