The original Disney feature film,
That Darn Cat, was a feel-good hit in 1965, thanks largely to stars such as
Hayley Mills,
Roddy McDowall, and
William Demarest. This 1996 remake also closely follows the novel
Undercover Cat by
Mildred Gordon and
Gordon Gordon and features
Christina Ricci in the
Hayley Mills role. In a small Massachusetts town, two bumbling criminals mistakenly kidnap a maid, thinking her to be the wife of a prominent businessman. D.C., short for Darn Cat, is an alley cat who, while looking for his nightly snack, stumbles upon the kidnap victim, bound and gagged in a shed. The kidnap victim scratches a plea for help on the back of her wristwatch and puts it around the cat's neck. Patti (Ricci) finds the watch and links it to the missing maid. Playing amateur detective, she enlists the aid of an FBI agent, Zeke (
Doug E. Doug), who has been assigned to the case. Patti and Zeke follow D.C. through tight openings to track down the captive. The cat also leads them to the woman's abductors (
Peter Boyle and
Rebecca Schull) and to a climactic car chase.
