Story
The miller’s youngest son inherited from his father only a cat. The tricky cat put on his boots and boots confidently headed to the royal castle, where with the help of gifts he aroused interest in his master, whom he called the Marquis of Karabas. But unlike the original, at the end of the film, the princess did not fall in love with the self-proclaimed marquise, rightly noting that he had a bad education.
