But Mighty Mouse flies in, with a song on his lips, and sets matters straight.
That most treacherous of all the treacherous cats, Oil Can Harry, tricks Might Mouse with just a tiny bit of sneering-and-leering treachery and, after binding Our Hero to a stump, takes off after Little Nell, a girl mouse, who has come to the Yukon country in a helicopter to trade fish for furs (although there is no shortage of either in the Yukon.)Oil Can gets Little Nell in an icy predicament, but Mighty Mouse breaks his bonds and flies up, up and away and arrives in the nick of time to save Little Nell. Where is Pearl Pureheart?
Mice, seeking shelter from a storm, enter Dr. Jekyll's house. His cat chases them, ultimately crashing into the lab, where he mixes up some of the potion. He transforms, then rounds up the mice.

All of the animal from all the continents, it appears, are gathered around a frozen lake and ice skating, playing hockey and, in general showing off and usually end up crashing through the ice.
