Slinky Malinki is about a mischievous duo, Slinky Malinki the cat and Stickybeak Sid a parrot, and all the trouble they can get into when left at home alone.

The story is told through the eyes of a young man, Hank, who, like everyone else, isn't sure what is going on in the outside world (although rumors abound).
