It's no wonder the people of Applesap prefer the shiny, clean, new Super Queen to Jiggs' Drug Store. In addition to gloomy old Mr. Jiggs himself, Jiggs' has a roof that leaks, four battered chrome stools, fierce old Miss Toonie behind the counter, and cats -- a beat-up, cringing crowd of cats rescued from the streets of Applesap by Miss Toonie. Fortunately, Jiggs' also has Melba Morris. Melba may be shy, but she's not going to let Jiggs' go out of business and the cats end up in the pound. It's not until Melba discovers the surprising secret about what Mr. Jiggs and the cats are up to late at night, though, that she comes up with a plan that just might save the day!
