In a wasteland, Chimbir the stray cat walks through garbage-filled alleyways, one of many hungry cats trying to fill their bellies with a decent meal. Suddenly, a sparkle from afar catches his eye, and upon following it, he finds an abandoned mansion. Venturing inside, Chimbir discovers what seems to be a laboratory. While roaming through the scientific equipment, he spots a cure for his hunger—a little fish swimming in a bowl. In anticipation of his newfound feast, Chimbir takes out his knife and fork, but just before he can tuck in, the goldfish abruptly introduces himself as Casper!
