Three horror-thriller tales revolve around a mysterious stray cat which is attempting to find a little girl in trouble. In "Quitters, Inc.": the cat is picked up by a shady New York "doctor" who uses experimental techniques to get people to quit smoking. His latest client is a man named Morrison, who learns he'll suffer some terrible consequences if he tries to cheat. In "The Ledge": the cat is picked up by Cressner, a shady Atlantic City millionaire who forces tennis pro Norris (his wife's lover), to walk a narrow ledge around his high-rise penthouse apartment. In "The General": the cat arrives in Wilmington, North Carolina, where it is found by Amanda, the young girl it has been sent to protect. What she needs protection from is a tiny, evil troll who lives behind the skirting board in her bedroom.

References to other Stephen King works: - James Woods watches The Dead Zone (1983) and inquires, "Who writes this crap?" - The cat is chased by a St. Bernard, a reference to Cujo (1983). - The cat is almost run over by a red Plymouth Fury with a bumper sticker saying, "I am Christine," a reference to Christine (1983). - Amanda's mother is reading Stephen King's book "Pet Semetary" in bed.

Sally Ann:
Polly got in one good peck before that cat killed her. Good for Polly!


Hugh:
I certainly never realized that Polly had such a big pecker.

Revealing mistakes: When Norris almost loses his balance and falls, we can see a hook on his shirt.
