American-like, almost full-length picture about three mice living in a cinema showing thrillers that inspire them to organise a "great cheese robbery" in a nearby Italian cheese shop. They carefully plan the action, make a trial-run and finally carry out the robbery. A witty parody of the adventure film "The Great Train Robbery" starring three charming mice.
