Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In love with a gorgeous female cat, Tom displays his affections by presenting the lady with what looks like a wedding ring, but turns out to be a trussed-up mouse named Jerry. Literally walking on air in anticipation of matrimony, Tom is brought crashing down to earth when his sweetheart takes pity on the tremulous Jerry and "adopts" the mouse as her surrogate son. Henceforth, whenever Tom tries to do harm to Jerry, he must face the terrible wrath of his girlfriend, a situation Jerry uses to his advantage by repeatedly "framing" Tom--with the usual slapstick consequences.
