This Oscar-nominated cartoon begins as Tom filches a milk bottle from the front porch and prepares to have breakfast. Jerry wants to share the milk, but Tom is his usual greedy self, and the chase is on. Nonetheless, Jerry manages to get in a few gulps, so Tom resorts to drastic mesaures, mixing up a poisonous potion in hopes of doing away with the troublesome mouse. The plan backfires when the mixture transforms Jerry into a musclebound monstrosity, pummelling Tom into senselessness. Unfortunately, the potion tends to wear off at the most inopportune moments... Watch for Tom's "Tex Avery" reaction when Jerry escapes from a supposedly surefire trap.
