Life seems picture perfect until it becomes apparent that a new baby will be joining the family. Lady feels neglected and turns to her friends Jock, a Scottish terrier, and Trusty, an old bloodhound for advice, when the trio is interrupted by the footloose Tramp, who warns that, “when a baby moves in, the dog moves out.” Matters get worse when Aunt Sarah comes to mind the baby – bringing along Si and Am, a pair of mischievous Siamese cats who wreak havoc. They get Lady blamed for the trouble and muzzled. Tramp offers his help and over the course of a grand adventure and a “Bella Notte”, a romance blooms, until their escapade goes awry and Lady vows not to see Tramp again. But when the baby is threatened, Lady and the Tramp must work together to come to his rescue.
