As children will often do, Eigil (Bjarke Smitt Vestermark) has a hard time with certain figures of speech his parents habitually use. Why are they "leaving the Snooks" and "buying a cat in a bag?" (These are Scandanavian expressions for going crazy and getting the worst of a deal, respectively.) He believes that the Snooks must feel bad about being left in that fashion, and surely someone must rescue that poor cat. In this children's movie combining puppets and live action, Eigil sets out to make things right.
