## Plot

### Prologue

The story starts off on Hanukkah in 1885 (in that world's time), opening in the village of Shostka, Russia, and it shows the story of the life of a family of Jewish-Russian mice who emigrate after their village is destroyed by Tsar Alexander III's Anti-Jewish pogroms. Believing in the American dream, they head to New York City because, as Papa Mousekewitz believes, "there are no cats in America."

### Main Story

After dropping off Po and the Furious Five after the events of the previous episode, the Nicktoons Hero Gang sets off to return the Heart of Tricorn, but they somehow get sidetracked and arrive in Hamburg, Germany and meet the Mousekewitz family, who have boarded the SS Austria to America. Jimmy tries to disprove their claims that there are no cats in America, but the others are quick to stop him, with Cindy in particular accusing him of trying to ruin the American dream for the immigrant mice. Things take a turn for the worse when a hurricane hits the ship, resulting in the young son, Fievel Mousekewitz getting tossed overboard alongside SpongeBob, Timmy (with Cosmo and Wanda), Jimmy, and Danny. When the boat arrives in New York City, the Mousekewitz family is upset they lost Fievel, and the rest of the Nicktoons Hero Gang are stuck with no way to get back home, as Jimmy is the only one with express access to drive the van, and cannot open without the keys, so it was towed away and kept in storage until the four leaders come back, leaving the heroes in deep regret (though Cindy is in denial of missing Jimmy, and Squidward being glad to be rid of SpongeBob).

Meanwhile, the four leaders and Fievel, floating on an engorged SpongeBob, are carried to Liberty Island, where they are met by a pigeon named Henri, who is with a French delegation who are erecting the Statue of Liberty. With Cosmo and Wanda's wands waterlogged from the hurricane and Danny's ghost powers exhausted from the stress, Fievel is at first doubtful that they can even find his family in America, but Henri encourages them to try. Fievel and the others make their way to New York City, hoping to consult with Immigration, but are waylaid by Warren T. Rat, a Shakespearean reciting conman rat who sells them to a sweatshop to attempt to pay off his debt to Lord Rottenday. Fievel, SpongeBob, and Timmy escape, but get lost, eventually reuniting with Cosmo, Wanda, Jimmy and Danny, who have befriended an Italian mouse named Tony Toponi (who nicknames Fievel "Philly" and SpongeBob "Robbie") in the process. Tony and Bridget, an Irish mouse with whom Tony is soon romantically involved with, begin a search for his parents, who believe that Fievel and the others drowned at sea.

During this time, the mice of New York decide that they are fed up with the continuous attacks by cats (and paying Warren for useless protection), and must find a way to defeat them. A wealthy mouse socialite named Gussie Mausheimer proposes they hold a rally to bring more mice to their cause. During the night, the separated Nicktoons Hero Gang sing a song about how they miss each other ((I Guess I) Miss You). However, when the rally starts, no one is sure just what to do to get rid of the cats. It is Fievel who suggests a plan to build a giant "Mouse of Minsk" (based on Russian folklore).

They make their way to an abandoned building along the Chelsea Piers that night and inside begin to work building their creation. However, the Nicktoon leaders, Fievel, and Tony are running late. Running hard to get to the docks, Fievel and the others are sidetracked by the strains of a violin being played from a sewer grate. Believing it's Papa, they make their way into the sewer, only to find out that the music is coming from Warren and a gang of cats. Warren is actually a cat in a rat disguise and is running a protection racket as the gang's boss. When he discovers Fievel and the heroes, he has the cats pursue them, resulting in SpongeBob and Fievel getting captured and imprisoned in a cage.

Fievel and SpongeBob end up befriending one of the cats, Tiger, who admits that he's a vegetarian. As the three boys talk, Fievel and Tiger discover that even though they are a cat and mouse, they share some of the same likes and dislikes. After talking, Tiger lets Fievel and SpongeBob go, resulting in Tiger getting kicked out of the cat gang. However, their escape triggers an alarm, and Fievel and SpongeBob are chased to the New York Harbor where Fievel reveals Warren's identity as a cat with a little help from Tony. The mice in their encampment refuse to give in to Warren's demands, and release their 'secret weapon' – a giant creation based on the story of "The Giant Mouse of Minsk," armed with fireworks provided by Chinese mice. The giant contraption chases the cats down the docks and forces them onto a tramp steamer bound for Hong Kong.

It appears the mice have won, but a stray firework launches from the Giant Mouse hits a bottle of kerosene, which starts a fire in the encampment. As the mice scramble for cover, firefighters are dispatched to the blaze to put it out. In the ensuing chaos, Fievel's family and the other Nicktoon Heroes encounter SpongeBob, Tony, and Bridget, who are looking for "Philly". Tanya believes they're looking for Fievel, and Tony confirms that Philly's original name is indeed Fievel. Papa still believes that Fievel is dead, but Bridget gives Fievel's hat to Mama and she shows her husband (which he gave Fievel at the start of the movie), confirming that Fievel is alive. Tiger is also present and overhears the conversation among the mice.

Shortly afterwards, Fievel, having been separated from the others, wakes up on the streets with some orphaned mice, who tease him about looking for his family. Fievel believes them and sadly resigns himself to life as an orphan. The next morning, Fievel's family and new friends are searching for him together, the mice riding on Tiger, the Nicktoons Heroes walking alongside them, and Papa playing his violin. Fievel hears the music, and the Mousekewitz family is soon joyfully reunited. Bridget tells Tony that it is very beautiful to see a family together. Tony responds by saying, "Ain't nobody thanking me." Bridget thanks him with a kiss, while Tiger is very happy to have friends, "Little tiny friends." The movie ends with the heroes taking the van and flying alongside Fievel, Tanya, Papa and Mama all riding on pigeons (much to Mama's dismay) to see the now-completed Statue of Liberty, which winks at them.
