First, mousedom becomes frantic as mice are cracking their teeth on phony cheese made of concrete. Can he find a way to stop whoever is making the counterfeit cheese? Then, he must ferret out the truth when a beloved masterpiece--the Mousa Lisa--goes missing. And finally, Basil must track down the culprit when Dr. Dawson, Basil's faithful friend and companion, is mousenapped!
