THE PLOT
The film begins where Inside a haunted and creepy-looking mansion, Penelope Pussycat chases Tuffy Mouse as usual while breaking everything in the process. Meanwhile, in the basement, a wizard named Chip, attempts to make a magical potion using his magical ring until he realizes it does not work. Chip checks the milk carton that he used on the potion, but there is no substitution for the milk of a cow that lives in Calcutta.

Later, Chip throws the duo into the basement and orders them to guard his magic ring while he goes to Calcutta to milk the cow. If they does a good job, he'll be rewarded with a big juicy salmon but if not, "there will one less kitty to clean up after around here", meaning that Penelope And Tuffy will be kicked out of the mansion for good. Chip then leaves for Calcutta using his motorcycle, leaving Penelope And Tuffy in charge of guarding the ring in the basement. Unknown to duo, an interested Ichy finds the ring while climbing the table and puts it on his head, wearing it like a crown. Ichy runs out of the mansion, and Penelope And Tuffy frantically attempts to find him so he can get the ring back.

After losing Ichy, Penelope Pussycat attempts to get the ring removed by going to a jewelry store owned by a diamond cutter. However, the store is closed since the owner has left for lunch. Ichy sneaks into the store and disguises himself as a worker using his tail for a mustache and attempting to help Tuffy Mouse get the ring off, but to no avail. He reveals his true identity. Ichy then destroys the store and ends up getting chased away by the enraged owner.

Afterwards, Penelope And Tuffy runs off into a fortunetelling home owned by Scrappy-Doo and Pitt the Scorpion. After seeing how lovely the ring looks and including the fact that Tuffy wants it removed, Scrappy-Doo attempts to pull it off, but also fails. Tuffy then sees Pitt the Scorpion. Ichy comes in and they both run out with Scrappy-Doo and Pitt the Scorpion chasing after him as well.

Soon, they end up in an alley where Surly Squirrel and Chomper happens to be taking a nap. They both wake up and tries to grab Tuffy for his dinner. Penelope Pussycat and Ichy successfully grabs Tuffy Mouse in time and, by flicking the ring on his body, makes random objects fall on the horrified Chomper and Surly. scrappy-Doo and Pitt then comes and is able to get the ring off Tuffy's body after Tuffy bites Ichy's tail, which causes him to be sent flying to the dog and a scorpion. Penelope Pussycat, Surly Squirrel, Chomper and Ichy then chase Scrappy-Doo and then wind up spinning and roll toward Tuffy, but the ring gets stuck back on his body. When The trio is running away from the four, they takes a shortcut to lose sight of them until Penelope Pussycat accidentally slips on a banana peel, which the ring then increases the size of; the dup slips on it again and rides on it toward the door of a pet store, leaving Penelope Pussycat unconscious.

A kind old lady comes out and brings the two inside and the cage is filled with animals from all over the world and putting them in two separate cages. However, Penelope Pussycat is accidentally paired with Smidge and Pig the Pig while Tuffy is left with Fishface, Lord Shen and Erik.

At first, Tuffy Mouse proves to be unsuccessful in trying to stop the bullies from hurting Erik until he uses the ring to turn them into chunks of fish. When the fish duo escape the cage and Erik fails to catch up with them since he intends to eat them, Tuffy uses the ring to make Erik grow into a giant penguin capable of breaking free from the cage as he grows and catch up with the cheese mice as they escape the store.

An unnamed boy comes and buys Tuffy as his pet to which he plays with Tuffy until the ring produces magic, melting Penelope Pussycat. Escaping the cage, Penelope Pussycat sneaks outside, reuniting Ichy and snatches Tuffy from the boy's hand. The upset boy tells his mother, to which she tells Commander Vachir who sends police cars after the trio. Scrappy-Doo, Surly Squirrel, Chomper and Pitt alongside Pig the Pig and Smidge also find and chase Penelope Pussycat, Tuffy Mouse and Ichy. The trio escape by riding a bus driven by Newt, but he stops and reverses the bus, causing the trio to panic. The three become lost until the boy finds them and whistles, resulting in the trio ending up cornered in a garbage dump at a dead end. Penelope Pussycat uses the magic ring to freeze everyone.
