Carrie's parents give her a small cat, Catkin, to watch over her as a baby. But one summer day Catkin falls asleep, and the Little People carry Carrie off to their kingdom under the hill. To bring her home, Catkin must venture into their world and outwit the Lord of the Little People in a contest of riddles.
