Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Tom chases Jerry up, down and around a high-rise apartment building. This goes on with hilarious variations for several minutes before the chase spills over into the busy city streets, where Tom and Jerry must patiently wait for the traffic lights to change as other cat-and-mice combinations scamper across the intersection. Somehow or other, Tom ends up in female drag, attracting a flock of libidinous male cats (one of whom sounds--and acts--exactly like Pepe le Pew). And then there's the inevitable bulldog. . .
