Once a year in the city of Grunwalden the cats take their annual trip to the seaside. This is a time of celebration for the mice!

The mice set up markets and fairs and party the night away. At the centre of the celebrations is the Amazing Dancing Cat. One mouse is chosen for the honour or cranking the handle and making the ginger cat dance. All day and all night the mice party and the mechanical cat dances then, as the sun rises, the mice return to their mouse holes for soon, the cats will return.
