Gamba, a brave and adventurous city mouse from Tokyo, embarks on a sailing journey with his childhood friend Mampuku, in order to realize his dream of reaching the sea. On board they encounter ship mice and Chūta, a mouse who has been injured and is seeking help. He appeals for Gamba and Mampuku to assist him in defending the island of Yumemishima and its mouse colony from the invading Noroi Clan, a large murderous army of weasels, led by their psychopathic and bloodthirsty leader Noroi. Gamba elects to sail to Yumemishima with Chūta to help defend the island, and Gamba recruits more mice to join their cause on the island.[1]
