Do you remember the classic fairy tale "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" written by the Brothers Grimm?  in the story a man wearing a colourful coat has the ability to rid a city suffering from plague of all mice and rats.  What would this classic story be like if we replace the protagonists with a slick tongued cat and his own swarm of rats?  That's exactly what happened in The Amazing Maurice, in which Maurice, the streetwise cat, tries to scam a little town by hoaxing a plague!  However, it turns out something even more malicious is already in ferment!
