Plot Summary of Ragweed
"Ragweed is a deermouse who goes away from his quiet country home and he travels to the city by train because he wishes to see the world. He meets new mouse friends and they chill at the local Cheese Squeeze club where hundreds of mice come to eat and play and dance. However, two feline cats, who are angry that the city is being trashed with mice, try to kill mice. As the cats plot to ruin the club and to kill the mice, Ragweed is the only one who can save the city of mice from torture and annihilation. Now the only question is, can he muster up the courage?"
