Binerkey Boing is a cat with exceptionally long whiskers that cause him to get into all kinds of trouble. He is sent away from home and on his travels meets a tapir with a strange nose who teaches Binerkey to be proud of who he is. He also meets a lobster who can't swim, a stoat and a cat with no tail. They all go to the circus to find work but Binerkey is captured by an evil ringmaster. A tender story to remind everyone that it's alright if you're different, you're just great the way you are.
