"Help! Help! A mouse!" There was a scream. Then a crash. Cups, saucers, and spoons were flying in all directions. Alexander ran for his hole as fast as his little legs would carry him.

Unhappy that he is not welcome in the house as is his friend the wind-up mouse, real mouse Alexander sets out to find the Magic Lizard who can remedy the situation.
