The movie starts with young Pete Lender setting up traps around his house. His parents ask him to explain why, and he says he’s trying to capture whatever is stealing the small commodities lying around the house. Meanwhile, his parents go to meet Ocious P. Potter (Goodman), a corpulent lawyer who intends on destroying the Lenders’ home in order to build an apartment complex. The only way to save the house is to find the long-lost will of Pete’s maternal great-aunt (his mother’s aunt), who is rumored to have left the house to them before her death. Meanwhile, Arrietty Clock, the elder child of a family of miniaturized humans known as “Borrowers”, meets Pete during her mischievous ventures into the Lenders’ home, where she learns that their precious home will be destroyed if nothing is done. Unfortunately, her family refuses to trust Pete, a member of the human “beans” (As they call them), so Arrietty must get the two families to work together to find the will before Mr. Potter reduces the house to ruin.
