Spoilers ahead

Pero, Susumu Ishikawa, the enigmatic Puss, is declared an outlaw by his feline home village for saving mice, an act that defies the nature of cats and is therefore illegal. After Pero escapes to avoid punishment, the Feline King dispatches three bumbling assassins to find and capture Pero, warning them that they face execution should they fail.

Pero begins his journey, dodging his would-be captors throughout the adventure, soon meeting Pierre, Toshiko Fujita, a poor, neglected miller’s son who is ousted from his home. The two quickly become good friends and set off together across the countryside.
