In an abandoned riverboat in Devil's Bayou, Louisiana, a small orphan girl named Penny drops a message in a bottle, containing a plea for help, into the river.

The Rescue Aid Society, an international mouse organization inside the United Nations, finds the bottle when it washes up in New York City. The Hungarian representative, Miss Bianca, volunteers to accept the case. She chooses Bernard, a stammering janitor, as her co-agent. The two mice visit Morningside Orphanage, where Penny lived, and meet an old cat named Rufus. He tells them about a woman named Madame Medusa who once tried to lure Penny into her car, prompting the mice to investigate Medusa's pawn shop for clues.

At the pawn shop, Bianca and Bernard discover that Medusa and her partner, Mr. Snoops, are searching for the world's largest diamond, the Devil's Eye. Snoops is currently at the Devil's Bayou with Penny, whom the pair have kidnapped and placed under the guard of two trained crocodiles, Brutus and Nero.

With the help of an albatross named Orville and a dragonfly named Evinrude, the mice follow Medusa to the bayou. There, they learn that Medusa plans to force Penny to enter a small blowhole that leads down into a blocked-off pirates' cave, where the Devil's Eye is located. Bernard and Bianca find Penny and devise a plan of escape. They send Evinrude to alert the local animals, who loathe Medusa, but Evinrude is delayed when he is forced to take shelter from a cloud of bats.

The following morning, Medusa and Snoops send Penny down into the cave to find the gem. Unbeknownst to Medusa, Bianca and Bernard are hiding in Penny's dress pocket. The three soon find the Devil's Eye within a pirate skull. As Penny pries the mouth open with a sword, the mice push the gem through it. The oceanic tide rises, flooding the cave; Penny and the mice only barely manage to escape.

Medusa betrays Snoops and hides the diamond in Penny's teddy bear, while holding Penny and Snoops at gunpoint. Bernard and Bianca use a cable to trip Medusa, who drops the bear; Penny snatches it up and runs. The local animals arrive at the riverboat, help Bernard and Bianca to trap Brutus and Nero, then set off Mr. Snoops's fireworks to create a diversion.

Meanwhile, Penny and the mice commandeer Medusa's swamp-mobile, a makeshift airboat. Medusa unsuccessfully pursues them, using Brutus and Nero as water-skis.

As the riverboat sinks from the fireworks' damage, Medusa crashes and is left clinging to the boat's smoke stacks. Snoops escapes on a raft and laughs at her, while the irritated Brutus and Nero turn on her and circle below.
