Leopold and the goldfish

The cat Leopold sits on the wooden bridges of the pier and fishes in the river, singing a song. Throwing a fishing rod into the water, he catches a goldfish, which speaks in a human voice and asks Leopold to let it go in exchange for wishes. Leopold tells the fish that he does not need anything from her and lets him go back to the river.

While the cat continued to fish, mice crawled out of the bushes - Gray and White. Gray breaks the branch, flies to the other side and hits the inscription "Swimming is prohibited", after which it falls into the water. Bely, having seen this, decides to take revenge on Leopold, but then the cat threw a hook, which caught on Bely’s pants and that one also flies into the water. Leopold, realizing that the fishing failed, took his fishing rod and tackle and headed home. The mice still want to take revenge on the cat and then White suddenly finds himself in the hands of a goldfish. She also asks him to be released in exchange for desires. The mice ask the fish: "make us huge, powerful, scary, like a mountain." The fish fulfills their desire and they turn into two large elephants, also Gray and White. Under the weight of the elephants, the flimsy bridges of the pier can not stand, and the "mouse" fall into the water. In the water, they again ask the fish for the same desire, just to be able to swim. Now they are crocodiles, but they can’t get out of the water to land, and the “mouse” for the third time ask the fish for the same desire, only this time they want to fly. Gray and White turn into mice-like birds, but they are noticed by a dog with a gun, and the mice, fearing that the hunter will shoot them, ask the fish to make them small again.

The mice take their former appearance, fall from the sky into a drainpipe and land right outside Leopold’s house. Gray throws a tomato at the cat sitting by the window, White shouts to him “Leopold, come out!”. Leopold replies: “ Guys, let's live together .” The mice say “Never!”, Throw an empty tin can of garbage bins on his head, and knock on his door with a cry of “Open, sneaky coward!” The cat thinks how to teach him a lesson of annoying mice, and suddenly a goldfish appears in front of him, asking how she can help him. Leopold tells her: “ Fish, make me ... invisible ” and the fish fulfills his desire - the cat has become invisible, only his butterfly and slippers are visible. Using a master key, the mice opened the door to Leopold’s house, entered and began looking for him everywhere. Gray even looked into the refrigerator, pinched his tail with his door. Trying to pull the tail, Gray flew into the wall and flew into the refrigerator, and the invisible Leopold closed the door in it. White helped Gray get out of the refrigerator and they continued to search for the cat, but only heard his laughter. Tired of the search, the mice saw on the wall a portrait of their beloved grandmother Leopold. Finding mustard in the closet and picking up a tomato from the floor, they painted a portrait of grandmother, which made the cat very angry. Leopold took a tablecloth from the table and covered them with mice, then put pots on their heads. Suddenly, the horns hanging on the wall moved at great speed right on the mice and they rushed to flee. Having received a kick from the "horns", Gray and White flew down the stairs and flew into the garbage cans. Suddenly they felt that someone had grabbed them - they were “horns”. The mice said: "Forgive us, horns!" The “horns” in the form of an invisible Leopold answered: “ That's it! ". Then the “horns” erased everything superfluous from the portrait of the grandmother, put in place all the upturned and fallen objects in the house and took their place on the wall. Leopold again becomes visible and utters a catch phrase: " Guys, let's live together ."
