Tourism brochures reach a wider audience than one might think. Our intrepid trio of Jewish mice (Jonah, Ebeneezer, and Bernie) decide they need to sample cheese at the home of world championship cheese factories -- Wisconsin. Living in NYC, they have to go to the Halls of Congress to work out a transportation plan. First they have to hop onto a subway and avoid getting stepped on before getting off in DC. Luckily, they find that the Speaker of the House makes trips back and forth to Wisconsin all the time. Now finding him and climbing those immense Capitol steps becomes the challenge. After sneaking into his office, they present their case and a somewhat shaken speaker agrees to help. He smuggles them onto a plane and they land in Green Bay. He takes them on a tour of Wisconsin landmarks, including Lambeau Field, Sheboygan, and the State Capitol. He explains how he grew up loving weiners and cheese, the history of cheesemaking, and how Wisconsin became so famous for their cheese. When he arrives home to Janesville, he must introduce his new mouse guests to the family. What will they think of these furry travelers?
