Mrs. Murphy (a cat) and Tucker (a dog) join forces to investigate their new neighbor whom they believe had committed a crime.
Ray Richmond from Variety magazine gave the film a very bad review, stating: "This installment of 'The Wonderful World of Disney,' based on the 'Mrs. Murphy' series of mystery novels penned by Rita Mae Brown, is pretty much as dumb as it gets, giving us a dog and a cat who solve crimes (Mrs. Murphy is the cat) and a starring role for Ricki Lake that makes her lowbrow daytime yakfest seem like 'Frontline' by comparison. Disney has been reduced to ripping off itself — or didn't anyone see 'Homeward Bound' and its sequel?".[1]
