Fievel experiences a mirage in the desert where he thinks his family is waiting for him, he runs over and hugs his mother which turns out to be a cactus he jumps in pain and gets cactus needles stuck all over his body.
The movie opens with a scene in which several characters, including the main protagonist are shooting guns. It turns out to be a dream, but the young character is in fact still shooting a cork gun.
Chula tries several times to eat Fievel, and at one point sings a song where a verse goes "bit off the mouse's head"
Fievel lands on a perfume bottle and it sprays perfume in Chula's eyes temporarily blinding him.
The climax scene of the movie involves a lot of gun shooting again, only they use slingshots.
