Dick Whittington is a young boy who works for a cruel cook. As Dick is cutting potatoes (by sliding them through an electric fan), a hungry cat rubs itself against the boy's legs. Dick feeds him a saucer of milk, but the angry cook throws the cat into a bag and commands the boy to throw the poor animal into the river. Dick can't bring himself to do it. The cat ends up on a ship headed to a faraway land that happens to be infested with rats. Now, Dick Whittington's cat has the chance to make good. however, his natural cowardice may get the better of him... (from IMDb)
