Jenny Linsky, the famous little black cat of Greenwich Village, has
never been to school before. When her master, Captain Tinker, sends her
to a boarding school in the country to learn the special knowledge of
cats--manners and cooperation--she is a little afraid, among strangers,
and so far from home. As soon as she's settled in, taking off the red
scarf that makes her feel brave, another student named Pickles, the Fire
Cat, is upto his usual mischief, chasing smaller cats with his fire
truck hook and ladder. When he chases Jenny, she runs away from school
terrified.
Jenny soon realizes that the Captain would be disappointed if he found
out she had left school. It's then that Jenny decides to stand up to
Pickles. She returns to school and when Pickles next tries his tricks,
he's surprised at the "new" Jenny. Pickles learns his manners and Jenny
learns that not only can school be fun, but the friendships she makes
there will last forever.
