Synopsis by Hal Erickson
At an earth colony on a faraway planet, Jerry the mouse sends out a mechanized rodent to steal goodies from a cheese mine. The local police department, represented by Tom the cat, dispatches a robotic feline to neutralize the electronic mouse. Comes lunchtime, and Tom leaves his closed-circuit TV to stand in line at a robotic vending machine--only to get a mouthful of motor oil for his trouble. Still hungry, Tom decides to chow down on Jerry, and the chase is on again. This unofficial sequel to 1966's Guided Mouse-ille boasts a terrific closing gag.
