Sick of playing "fish" to Tom's "fisherman", Jerry rebels and rushes out of the house, where he collides with a raffish alley cat named Meathead. Before long a battle is raging between the two rival cats over possession of Jerry, with the crafty mouse spending the bulk of the cartoon playing Tom against Meathead and vice versa. After heaping a great deal of abuse on each other, the feline duo decides to share Jerry by splitting the mouse down the middle, King Solomon style. This spirit of "share and share alike" evaporates when the devilish half of Tom's conscience encourages him to double-cross Meathead. And so it goes until the end of the film--and when we say The End, we mean The End.
