The Borrowers Plot and Cast
The Clock family, standing four inches tall, lives hidden within the walls of the Lender household, surviving by "borrowing" everyday items like thread, safety pins, batteries, and food scraps. Their quiet arrangement unravels when the corrupt lawyer Ocious P. Potter steals the will that grants the Lenders title to the house, intending to tear it down for apartments. As the Lenders are forced to relocate, the Clocks confront the danger of being discovered by the normal-sized world.
