When the laboratory of Dr. I.M Nutts is closed for the night, a group of mice come out of their mouse hole, and, after learning that the lab is empty, begin playing with the equipment: checking out bacteria samples under the microscope, listening with a stethoscope, looking an eye chart through glasses, and nearly needling their leader Johnny in the rear end ([[BreakingThheFourthWall only to be stopped by a man in the audience]]). As all this is going on, in the next room, white mouse Susie, who is set to be used for an experiment in the morning, desperately tries to get help. When her cries (and her note) are answered by Johnny, he saves her, and ends up getting more than gratitude from her. Throughout the cartoon, the mice are unknowningly stalked by a cat who, after tying on a napkin and grabbing a knife and fork, prepares to pounce on the group, but a comment from Susie makes him decide to be patient.
