In this prequel to Poppy, Ragweed tries out life in the big city, where he meets some nice mice and a couple of very nasty cats. The with-it lingo of Ragweed's friend Clutch becomes tiresome, and characterization seems more ordained than developed, but there's plenty of well-paced action and a satisfying victory over the feline forces.
