The show opens with Hamtaro. He's in his cage and is trying to figure out how to get out. From his panicked reaction, we learn that he and his human have just moved to a new house. He escapes from his cage and starts chewing on the curtains. His human comes in and finds him. She complains that he's always getting into trouble when she's out of the room. Hamtaro voiceovers that he's Hamtaro and that he's living there with Laura and her parents. Laura shows her parents what Hamtaro did to her curtains. She heads downstairs and Hamtaro gets out again. Laura comes back upstairs and tells Hamtaro that she's going out. But when she doesn't see Hamtaro, she figures he must be sleeping. Hamtaro crawls around and eventually finds a drainpipe. He chews some and then slides down it. Outside, he runs into Brandy, the family dog. He gives Brandy his regards. As he continues, he runs into a hamster who seems very nervous. When he sees Hamtaro, he panics. But Hamtaro doesn't seem to be the only thing (thetvdb.com)
