Orlando, the marmalade cat, takes his dear wife Grace and their three kittens to the seaside where there is old beached ship they can all stay in. It proves to be the holiday of a lifetime, as they swim, sunbathe, go flying on the tail of a kite, discover a "mermaid" and even help to rescue some shipwrecked travellers.
