Benoit is a boy living with his father in a small seaside village where nothing much goes on. Ships come in. Ships go out. But one day, Benoit's father, Jean-Kiki, barters with a salty sea captain to get a friend for his lonely son, a kitten he names Donald. And that's the end of Benoit's quiet days. As Donald takes him on a journey of discovery though their town, they come into contact with neighbors, friends, and shopowners, some of whom are less accepting of Donald's feisty attitude than others. Things reach a crescendo when the rambunctious pair decide to take drum lessons and collaborate with the Devildogs, an uncanny canine dance troupe. Few lessons are learned, but great fun is had by all.
