Plot

The story follows Handsome Gunther, a poor young man whose only possession in life is his anthropomorphic cat. The cat, wanting to get his owner out of poverty, decides to use his wit turn Gunther into a prince. In his plan, the cat tries to help Gunther win the heart of the Princess. However, an evil shape shifting ogre also has his eyes on marrying the girl. After she is captured, Gunther and his clever cat go after the Princess and must rescue her before it is too late.[1]

Differences from the original story

In the film, the ogre's shape changing abilities and other magical powers are granted by a necklace which he must wear to survive during daylight. Also changed from the original tale, is that the ogre wants to marrying the Princess. He offers the king unlimited gold, jewels and diamonds for his marrying the king's daughter, but the king refuses. When Puss in Boots tricks the ogre into morphing into a mouse, the ogre escapes him and realizes the trick, and then morphs into a large monster and attempts to kill him. But his necklace is stolen, and the princess, king, miller's son and cat are able to prevent him from catching the necklace by dawn.

In the film, the mice are on the side of the miller's son after an initial confrontation with Puss in Boots.
