Basil--the famous sleuth of mousedom--has learned a great deal living in Sherlock Holmes's cellar. Now, his sleuthing skills are being put to the test on a wild trip to Mexico! First, mousedom becomes frantic as mice are cracking their teeth on phony cheese made of concrete. Can he find a way to stop whoever is making the counterfeit cheese? Then, he must ferret out the truth when a beloved masterpiece--the Mousa Lisa--goes missing.
