action
After the death of their father, the brothers Ernest and Lars Smuntz inherit both an old house and a dilapidated yarn factory that is on the verge of ruin, so that they urgently need to raise money. The brothers discover that the house they inherited from 1876 was designed by the famous architect Charles Lyle LaRue and is therefore very valuable. Both see it as the way out of their financial worries. They also discover that a mouse lives in the house and want to get rid of it.
Since conventional mouse traps seem to do nothing (while they are loading the traps, the mouse steals the whole cheese wheel) Ernest and Lars first try a cat, then they instruct the exterminator Caesar to kill the mouse. However, both the cat and Caesar fail, leaving behind immense destruction. After numerous spectacular and unsuccessful attempts to get rid of the mouse, including the use of a shotgun, the brothers, who have meanwhile been stressed for various reasons, get into an argument, and Lars hits the mouse with a piece of fruit by chance. Neither Ernest nor Lars manage to kill the unconscious mouse. You put them in a package and send the mouse to Fidel Castro . In Cuba , however, it turns out that the package was not sufficiently franked. It will be sent back.
Before the auction, a man bids the house $ 10 million, but the offer is turned down. During the auction, the mouse reappears. The brothers want to drown them in water and flood the room where the auction is taking place. The auction is canceled, the house collapses later.
The now indebted and homeless brothers drive to the yarn factory, the last thing they have left, but do not notice that the mouse is following them. While they are now indulging in desperation in their father's office, the mouse steals cheese again, but instead of eating it, she uses the factory to make edible yarn from cheese. Thanks to this new product, the factory has been saved, Ernest and Lars come to terms with the mouse that will be used in quality control in the future.
