When a fierce storm traps a village's boats, an old fisherman and his cat set out to sea.
Old Tom and his cat Mowzer live in the Cornish fishing village of Mousehole. One terrible winter, the Great Storm-Cat keeps the fishing boats trapped in the harbor, and the village begins to go hungry. Tom and Mowzer brave the wild sea to bring home fish, and Mowzer's singing helps tame the storm.
