A sickly eight year old boy (Dennis Larson) is sent to stay with his aunt in the countryside. Underneath the floorboards of her home resides a family of miniature people who refer to themselves as "Borrowers," considering they "borrow" small objects from humans to furnish their "apartment." When our little hero catches sight of one of them, the mother and father of the Borrowers family grow rather paranoid, knowing that human boys are curious creatures and fearing this one might expose them to the others who up until this moment did not know they existed. Yet, the twelve year old daughter (Karen Pearson) of the Borrowers family has no fear and ends up befriending the tyke. But what are they to do when the nasty maid catches on that mice-sized people have been stealing from her employer? A fun 70's flick that was originally made for television.
