It is the story of Tessie Gilmore, an eight-year old girl, and her three pet mice, mother Molly, her daughter Cee Cee, and son Wuzzy. Mr. Gilmore, a strict father, allows Tessie to keep her mice provided she takes proper care of them. She fails to do so and Mr. Gilmore loses his patience and takes the mice to the family station wagon and drives across town and through fields before dumping them off. Molly tells Cee Cee and Wuzzy that they are not field mice and their only chance is to return to Tessie and hope by then Mr. Gilmore has changed his mind. What follows is an exciting and harrowing adventure as the mice traverse both fields and city streets during the journey back to Tessie.
