The comedy film "Ratcatcher" can be called a "mouse version" of " "Home Alone", the film describes a battle between a powerful mouse and a pair of silly brothers who invaded its territory——
Brothers Ernie and Lar mourned their father in the rain . Their father opened a "Shi's Rope Making Factory" in the small town. One day, an overactive ball of thread rolled around, jamming machines and gears, causing chaos in the factory and killing my father.
The will is disappointing. After his father died, he did not leave behind a fortune, only a dilapidated house and a rope-making factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy. Ernie was eager to get back to his restaurant. There would be distinguished guests arriving in the evening. Lal had to face a pile of old debts on his own.
The mayor took his wife and son to Ernie's restaurant for dinner, and the media came in droves after hearing the news. This was a great opportunity for Ernie to promote the restaurant, but the mayor's son ate cockroaches from the delicious roast duck, causing the mayor to have a heart attack on the spot.
Lal took people to visit the rope-making factory, and the other party offered to buy the factory. Lal held a piece of rope left by his father, remembered his father's last words, and rejected the other party's request. His wife, Aibo, was furious and kicked him out of the house.
Ernie's situation wasn't much better. His restaurant has become deserted since the "cockroach incident", the mayor died of a heart attack the next afternoon, and TV reports named Ernie as the culprit. Ernie's restaurant was deeply in debt and could no longer operate.
On Christmas Eve, the two brothers braved the heavy snow and lived on the streets. They thought of the old house at No. 5120 Norton Street. Thanks to their father's inheritance, their situation would not immediately become as miserable as the tramps.
The old house is eerie and terrifying, with mysteries hidden everywhere.
The two brothers were squeezed into the only bed, each having their own concerns and unable to sleep.
In order to catch a troublesome little mouse, Ernie climbed up to the ceiling and accidentally discovered the blueprint of the old house. The old house was built in 1876 and designed by Charles Leroy.
This century-old house is worth a lot of money! The brothers are going to get rich! The news that they owned a century-old house spread like wildfire in the town, and a large number of people from the industry came here to see it. The well-known millionaire Alexander Fatge also came with his men. Prepare to sell the old house for 10 million.
Before the old house is auctioned, the brothers have to overhaul the entire building, and Ernie has to get rid of the little mouse. However, the unusual mouse seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on them.
The mouse had a comfortable home in the old house, but as the project progressed, its home was destroyed.
The mouse was trapped in a "nail formation" with no way to escape.
Ernie mortgaged his old house for 1,200 yuan to buy back a fashionable jacuzzi. The brothers carried the bathtub up the stairs, the old man who had escaped death looking murderously at its enemy. The bathtub slid down the stairs, rushed out of the door using inertia, and slid a hundred meters away in the snow. Finally, it broke through a thin layer of ice and sank to the bottom of the lake.
Ernie and Lar no longer dare to underestimate this mouse. It seems that it will fight with them to the end to protect their homeland.
In order to eliminate hidden dangers, the brothers bought hundreds of mousetraps and set up a trap. But he accidentally trapped himself, making it difficult to move.
The mouse did not appear until the next morning. It flexibly walked among the mousetraps everywhere, and unkindly knocked over the bowl of cherries. A cherry rolled to the ground. The mouse confidently waited to see the real show directed by it.
The cherry knocked over a mousetrap, and the mousetraps flew up one after another, catching the brothers on their heads, faces, and all over their bodies. While they were rolling around on the ground in a panic, the mouse took advantage of the chaos and carried the two largest cheese balls home.
It’s true that misfortunes never come singly, debt collectors are here. If the brothers can't come up with 1,200 yuan, the old house will no longer belong to them.
Ernie asked Lal to find a way from the rope-making factory to first deduct the workers' wages to pay off the debt.
They retrieved a "king cat" from the municipal animal shelter to deal with the mice, and the "king cat" died in the line of duty.
The brothers had no choice but to hire fully armed professional mouse catchers. Within half a day, the experts were defeated. They suffered serious mental and physical injuries and were taken away by ambulance.
Ernie and Lar looked at the increasingly dilapidated old house and had to admit from the bottom of their hearts: This was an extraordinary mouse. By chance, they knocked the rat unconscious, put it in a wooden box, and sent it to distant Cuba overnight.
There are still two days left before the auction, and the brothers are busy day and night.
Aibo gave them a sum of money, so they did not have to worry about repaying the debt, and used the remaining money to buy back materials for decorating the old house.
The auction was an unprecedented event. Celebrities from all walks of life gathered in the century-old house, and Alexander the Great also arrived as scheduled.
Ernie, the eldest son, gave an impassioned speech before the auction began.
Ernie turned his attention to Lar, who was standing behind the crowd, and was about to continue to express his emotion, but saw Lar gesticulating desperately to him. Lal found the wooden box they mailed at the door a few minutes ago. It was stamped "Insufficient postage" and a hole was chewed out in one corner of the wooden box. The mouse was back!
The mouse jumped up to the podium and took the end of the rope left by his father that Earl had just shown off in his mouth. It actually ate the lucky rope!
The Mouse is engaged in a final battle, determined to turn the auction upside down.
The bidding was getting higher and higher, and in the chaos, the brothers heard someone bidding 25 million.
The mice have been cornered by them and crawled into the hole. Ernie pointed the tap at the hole and poured heavily.
Just when the host was about to announce that the century-old house had been sold for 25 million, floods destroyed the "Dragon King Temple". The brothers were stunned, and their dream was finally shattered.
The brothers came to the rope factory exhausted, which was their last resting place. The father's portrait hung high above their heads. Looking at his two sons who were sleeping soundly, there seemed to be a smile on his lips.
The surviving mouse appears in the rope factory. It climbed onto the control valve and touched the switch gently, and the factory suddenly became brightly lit; it touched the switch again and the machine started running. In a moment, a ball of thread was made.
Ernie and Lar heard the noise and came to the workshop. They found this ball of thread, which was a "ball of thread" made of cheese! The long-suspended "Shi's Rope Making Factory" started operations. Ernie, who loves the kitchen, and Lar, who loves factories, both found a place to use, and the "Shi's Rope Making Factory" entered a new era of producing "rope-shaped cheese."
The mouse has since found its place. It sits on Ernie's shoulder and has become the authoritative taster of "Shi's Rope Factory".
The brothers put the lucky rope in a frame and hung it next to their father's portrait.
There is a wise saying in the frame: Without ropes, the world will be in chaos!
