Judith Anderson plays Aunt Sophie, an invalid, whose eight year old nephew comes to live in her Victorian mansion. While peeking under the floorboards, what should he see, but the "Borrowers", so named because of their propensity to live off bits and pieces "borrowed" from the big people. Now discovered, the "Borrowers" must scramble to avoid being captured and displayed as curiosities. "The Borrowers" is based on the book by Mary Norton of Bedknobs and Broomsticks fame.
