Garfield encounters crime, passion and suspense as he becomes embroiled in a murder mystery. Garfield's Feline Fantasies: "The world is filled with excitement," Garfield tells Odie. "If you just use your imagination, you don't have to go find it. It'll find you." Garfield's Nine Lives: The surly feline plays a myriad of roles, from Cave Cat to Space Cat, including the revered King Cat of ancient Egypt, an orange kitten in a fairyland garden; the pet cat of court musician George Frederick Handel: a "stunt cat" in the 1920's movie business: a laboratory animal trying to escape certain death; a pasta-loving youngster in an Italian restaurant.
