Description
In the town of Blotsville, old Mrs. Abigail Chattery protests against new houses being built on her farm hill, calling them "blots on the landscape." When the town's slippery Mayor H.P. Burpwistle pushes forward mysterious plans in the name of progress, Mrs. Chattery teams up with Mr. Blunt, their pet birds Galahad and Sulf, and the Bitzer family from the local pet shop to investigate and stop him.
