Produced by Trickompany, the film features the voices of Ulrich Tukur, Mario Adorf and Klaus Maria Brandauer.

The story centers on domestic house cat Francis and the grisly feline murders taking place in his new neighborhood.

[2] Francis, an intelligent and cynical cat, moves into a gloomy, dilapidated house with his owner, Gustav Löbel, a romance writer and archeologist.

Soon, Francis discovers another body and the fact that his house's top floor is the meeting site of a sect of cats led by Joker.

The members of Joker's sect worship an entity named Claudandus and perform ritualistic suicide by throwing themselves into an electric current.

He escapes through a skylight and meets a blind cat named Felicity, who supplies Francis with information on the Claudandus sect.

During a rodent hunt, Francis discovers a video recording that documents the top floor's previous use as an experimental laboratory.

Francis gradually traces the neighborhood cats who descended from the strays involved in the experiments and is confronted by Pascal, who reveals himself to be Claudandus.

Hansen complimented the voices behind Francis and Bluebeard, but criticized Klaus Maria Brandauer's voice-over as a "by-the-numbers performance.
