A delightfully idiosyncratic, rollicking animated adventure about the elderly Madame Souza, who is looped into international intrigue when her grandson, Champion, a professional cyclist, is kidnapped! Joined by her faithful dog, Bruno, Mme. Souza embarks on a hunt to locate the missing Champion, and stumbles across unlikely allies in the form of three sisters who are veterans of the vaudeville stage. Tracking down Champion's criminal captors, the quartet of old women use their wits to try and win the day.
