Yearning for peace and quiet, cat Templeton steals from his brother's piggy bank and mail-orders a wish-granting diamond. He gleefully wishes his pesky family away and sets out to enjoy the solitude. But loneliness eventually consumes Templeton, and he wishes for his family's return. A minimal palette and skillful changes in facial expressions convey his emotional highs and lows.
