Synopsis by Hal Erickson
We open on a missile base, where a consignment of supplies, including an enormous piece cheese, is being launched to an orbiting space station. Monitoring the shipment via closed-circuit TV is "space mouse" Jerry, who effortlessly steals the cheese. Tom, in charge of space-station security, chases after Jerry with latest in electronic equipment, including a robotic cat--which, alas, is even less effective than the stuff Wile E. Coyote used to purchase from the ACME company. Not only is Jerry able to elude capture, but he also uses a a mini-jetpack to antagonize Tom. The final sequence finds Tom sending Jerry into orbit--but it's the mouse rather than the cat who has the last laugh.
