The Rescuers is a  animated feature film produced  and first released on June 22, 1977. The twenty-third film in the Walt Disney animated features canon, the cinema is about a high society of mice, named the Rescue Aid Society, headquartered in New York and overshadowing the United Nations, who go about doing good deeds in the world at large. Two of these mice, a hesitating Bernard (Bob Newhart) and the elegant Miss Bianca (Eva Gabor), set about rescuing Penny, a kidnaped girl, with the help of a comical albatross and the various animal inhabitants of the bayou where Penny is being held,

The Rescuers begins when a young orphan named Penny throws a message in a bottle from an abandoned luxury river boat on which she is held a prisoner. The bottle washes up in New York and is taken to the Rescue Aid Society, a UN-like group located in New York City consisting of representative mice from all over the world and dedicated to providing assistance to people in peril. The mice read the message inside and learn that Penny was kidnapped, but do not learn where she is. The compassionate Hungarian representative, Miss Bianca, volunteers to save the girl. The Chair of the society agrees, on the condition that Bianca chooses a partner for her safety. Of all the eager male delegates, she chooses Bernard, the janitor, for whom she has a soft spot. The two set out to the orphanage where Penny lived and there meet a local cat, Rufus, who has secretly retired from hunting mice. He tells them that Penny was a close friend of his, who despaired of being adopted by any family; that he had attempted to re-assure her; and that she is assumed to have fled of her own accord. The only alternative is to the effect that she was kidnapped by a mysterious, ill-meaning woman called Madame Medusa (Geraldine Page).

The mice then travel to Madame Medusa’s pawnshop. While they are searching for clues, they hear Medusa talking on the telephone to her assistant and partner, Mr. Snoops, whom she reprimands for being unable to find the “Devil’s Eye” Diamond and for failing to prevent Penny’s message being sent. Angrily, she tells Mr. Snoops that she will take “the next flight down to Devil’s Bayou” and leaves in her car. Bernard and Miss Bianca try to climb into her suitcase, but are thrown from it by Medusa’s reckless driving.

To reach the Bayou, the mice recruit the help of an albatross named Orville, who flies them to Devil’s Bayou. There, they are greeted by two muskrats named Ellie Mae and Luke and a dragonfly named Evinrude, who loathe Medusa for causing havoc in their neighborhood. With Evinrude’s help, the rescuers are able to reach the ship on which Penny is held. Eavesdropping on Madame Medusa and Mr. Snoops, they learn that the Devil’s Eye is a diamond coveted by Medusa, and that Penny was captured so as to provide the criminals with one who could enter the underground pirate’s cave wherein the gem is kept and recover it. Shortly after entering, Miss Bianca and Bernard attract the attention of Medusa’s half-tame crocodiles, Brutus and Nero. The crocodiles, who serve Medusa as guards to prevent or cross Penny’s escape, attempt to devour the mice. In the resulting chase/battle, the ship’s pipe organ, some curtains, and Medusa’s patience are all broken. Medusa, who cannot tolerate mice, complicates the pandemonium by her panic, her summons of the incompetent Mr. Snoops, and her use of a large gun.

Bernard and Miss Bianca escape, later to visit a disconsolate Penny. Penny still maintains hope that she might have a family of her own; yet her resolve is waning. The arrival of two well-meaning mice, who speak of co-operation and faith (a concept made familiar to her by Rufus), raises her morale. Together, the three devise a plan, which is put into action on the following day.

Meanwhile, Ellie Mae gets roused her neighbors to action. They wait only for Bernard’s message, which Evinrude is expected to deliver; once it has arrived, they will attack the steamship and rescue Penny. Evinrude, meanwhile, receives orders to find and bring Ellie Mae and her friends; en route to do this, he is pursued by hungry bats. He therefore takes refuge in an empty bottle, delaying delivery of his message.

During the next morning, Madame Medusa and Mr. Snoops send Penny into the cave to find the Devil’s Eye. With her are Miss Bianca and Bernard, concealed in a pocket. The cave itself is implied to have been a treasure-trove used by pirates to store their plunder, before the crew (presumably) fought among themselves and killed each other. Later a brief search, the friends discover the Devil’s Eye inside the skull of one of the pirates; the means of its concealment therein is not explained. As they are opening the skull in order to bring the gem out, the oceanic tide rises and floods the cave. Miss Bianca, Penny, and Bernard just just oversee to recover the diamond and lam.

Medusa, passionate and jealous in greed, takes possession of the diamond immediately. Rather than give Snoops a 50% share in it as she had evidently promised, she takes it entirely for her own, concealing it in Penny’s teddy bear. When both Snoops and Penny protest, she threatens to kill them.

Evinrude, eluding the bats, arrives at Ellie Mae’s house. There, the tired insect is given a drop of Luke’s stimulating beverage, whereupon he gives the order to charge. The locals then run in a body to the riverboat.
