Fievel's Father then tells his three children about the United States, a country where there are no cats. The celebration is interrupted when a battery of Cossacks and their cats attack the village and the denizens. Because of this, the Moskowitz home, along with that of the Mousekewitzes, is destroyed. Later that night, the surviving mice gather at the center of the village, and decide to head for America.

Arriving in Hamburg, the Mousekewitzes board a tramp steamer headed for New York City. All the mice aboard are ecstatic at the prospect of going to America as there are "no cats" there. Except for Fievel, who is still in grieving, missing His old home. During a thunderstorm on their journey, Fievel suddenly finds himself separated from his family and washed overboard. Thinking that he has died, they proceed to the city as planned, though they become depressed at his loss.

However, Fievel floats to New York City in a bottle and, after a from a French pigeon named Henri, embarks on a quest to find his family. He encounters conman Warren T. Rat, who sells him to a sweatshop. He along with a group of mice escape with Tony Toponi, a street-smart Italian mouse, and they join up with Bridget, an Irish mouse trying to rouse her fellow mice to fight the cats. When a gang of them called the Mott Street Maulers attacks a mouse marketplace, the immigrant mice learn that the tales of a cat-free country are not true.

Bridget takes Fievel and Tony to see Honest John, an alcoholic politician who knows the city's voting mice. However, he can't help Fievel search for his family, as they have not yet registered to vote. Meanwhile, his older sister, Tanya, tells her gloomy parents she has a feeling that he is still alive, but they insist that it will eventually go away.

Led by the rich and powerful Gussie Mausheimer, the mice hold a rally to decide what to do about the cats. Warren is extorting them all for protection that he never provides. No one knows what to do about it, until Fievel whispers a plan to Gussie. Although his family also attends, they stand well in the back of the audience and they are unable to recognize Fievel onstage with her.

The mice take over an abandoned museum on the Chelsea Piers and begin constructing their plan. On the day of launch, Fievel gets lost and stumbles upon the Maulers' lair. He discovers Warren there, that he is actually a small cat in disguise, and that he is the leader of the Maulers. They discover Fievel, but the mouse escapes the lair and hides in an alley. Knowing His life is in danger after hearing Warren T tell His cronies to eliminate Fievel. While trying to find a safe path to Chelsea Pier, He hides out in a Cheese Factory. While looking for a place to sleep, Fievel is attacked by a group of rough street mice, who tell Fievel to leave. but, One of the Maulers come in as the Bullying Mice scatter, as Fievel is cornered. After exiting the factory, the Bullying mice are ambushed by three more of the Maulers. As for Fievel, He spots a cat coming out of the shadows and hides behind a cheese wheel. The cat as it turns out, was a reluctant member of the Maulers; a goofy, soft-hearted long-haired orange tabby cat named Tiger, who befriends and lets Him leave in peace, as Fievel races to Chelsea Pier. However, two of the cats spot Fievel, and one of the cats tell the other to get Warren T.

As morning was nearing, Fievel races back to the pier with the cats chasing after him. There, the disguised Warren attempts to extort the mice again to surrender Fievel and their money in exchange for their safety, but when Tony removes Warren's disguise in front of the mice with the aid of a slingshot, they defiantly refuse. Warren then sets fire to the pier's entrance in an attempt to burn the mice alive, until Gussie finally orders the mice to release the secret weapon. A huge mechanical mouse, inspired by the tales Papa told Fievel of the "Giant Mouse of Minsk", chases Warren down the pier and into the water as all the Maulers scatter in New York. A tramp steamer bound for Hong Kong picks Warren T. up on its anchor and carries Him away. However, a pile of leaking kerosene cans has caused remnants of the fire Warren had started to ignite the entire pier, and the mice are forced to flee when the human F.D.N.Y. arrives to extinguish it.

During the fire, Fievel is once again separated from his family and ends up at the burning remains of the pier. Papa and Tanya overhear Bridget and Tony calling out to Fievel, but Papa is sure that there may be another "Fievel" somewhere, until Mama finds his hat.

Joined by Gussie, Tiger allows them to ride him in a final effort to find Fievel and they are ultimately successful. As Halloween was Nearing, Henri along with his girlfriend take the Mousekewitz family to see his newly completed project—the Statue of Liberty, which appears to smile and wink at Fievel and Tanya, and the Mouskewitzes' new life in the United States begins. Tiger is now leader of the Maulers, where instead of extorting mice, they help other cats find homes. as Tony and Bridget are now a couple. As for Warren T, He is impoverished while looking for new cats to continue His extortion plan.
