Film Facts

Plot: Lady is a sheltered cocker spaniel who lives a pampered life in the home of Jim Dear and Darling. All is good until a new baby arrives, followed soon by Aunt Sarah and her two Siamese cats. Lady soon finds herself muzzled and put outside. That's when she meets Tramp, a streetwise mutt, who convinces her to run away with him. As Lady and Tramp fall for each other, the question becomes whether their two divergent lifestyles can mesh together, and if so, what form that will take.
