Synopsis
Basil is a mouse who dresses like Sherlock Holmes and solves crimes with his friend and biographer, Dr. Dawson. They are engaged by the daughter of a mouse toymaker who find her father who was kidnapped by the villainous Ratigan. Ratigan intends to coerce the toymaker to fashion a facsimile of the queen who will fool the public and grant him power. Basil and Dawson are very nearly done in by Ratigan, but triumph over the scoundrel by trapping him in the mechanisms of Big Ben.
