From Quiz The Great Mouse Detective
Answer:
On and around the clock of Big Ben
Basil and his companions foil Ratigan's evil skeme and rescue both the queen and Mr. Flaversham. That's not the end of the adventure though, because Ratigan escapes.
With Fidget as steersman, he grabs Olivia as a hostage and takes off in his dirigible. Ever resourceful, Basil improvises an airship of his own and sets off in pursuit. The ensuing battle carries the adversaries to the great clock, onto its face and even insides its massive works. The heart stopping fight culminates with the great clock striking ten. Ratigan falls off the clock face, disappearing into the fog below, never to be seen again. But the victory is bittersweet. Basil has fallen with him... or has he?
The friends are in despair, until Basil reappears. He has saved himself by catching hold of part of the professor's dirigible.
Back in Baker Street, The Flavershams thank Basil again and say goodbye. The doctor too makes ready to leave, much to the detective's dismay. But just then, a beautiful and elegant young lady mouse, who is in need of Basil's services, knocks on the door. The detective introduces Dr. Dawson as his associate with whom he conducts all his cases. And so, the doctor tells us as the conversation fades and the camera zooms out to show a wider view of London, he stayed and conducted many investigations with his friend Basil of Baker Street, the great mouse detective.
