A lighthearted animated romp through the Casbah where a charming skunk's romantic pursuit of a mistaken-identity cat plays out as pure slapstick comedy and musical whimsy.

Penelope, an American tourist cat who's gotten a white stripe of paint down her back, is pursued through the Casbah by the amorous skunk Pepe Le Pew, who woos her with his rendition of "As Time Goes By".
