‘The Amazing Maurice’ Plot

Maurice, a streetwise ginger cat, has the perfect money-making scam. He finds a kid who plays a pipe and he also befriends his very own horde of strangely educated, talking rats – so Maurice can no longer think of them as ‘lunch’.
When Maurice and the rodents reach the stricken town of Bad Blintz, they meet a bookworm, Malicia. Their little con soon goes down the drain as something very bad is waiting for them in the cellars.
