He puts gigantic nitroglycerin explosives (labelled: XXX, TNT, POWDER, BLOCK BUSTER, DANGER) he puts the last stick of dynamite on Jerry's face, and blows on the flame, unfortunately for him, it doesn't get to him because of cartoon physics, and a massive explosion kills Tom, and all of the house except Jerry. he ends up eating the toy, and it repeats the same words inside Tom's stomach, angered, he tears and rips up the paper in pieces because he dictates that the book is ineffective. He winds a female mouse toy, who just says "Come up and see me some time" a lot. And then Jerry pulls up a Yellow sign saying " Is there a Doctor in the House?" Tom disguises as a gift, Jerry, unknowingly knocks at it and then uses a saw and tears through it almost killing Tom. He tries to heal Jerry, but wears an orange toupée, and tries to do 2 things. Then Tom says the infamous "Don't you believe it" Tom gets a snare trap and drinks milk, and Jerry catches Tom to the tree. Tom uses a mouse trap and cheese to catch Jerry so that he will get trapped, but fails. Tom reads his book in order to slam the book on a curious Jerry, Jerry comes, but misses every time. Nothing at all remains of the house except Jerry, who is still alive, and his door, while Tom's spirit is in heaven, with a harp and a halo repeatedly hiccupping "come up and see me some time" (The doll was voiced by Sara Berner). When Tom lights a piece of dynamite, he blows the fuse much too hard, resulting in all the explosives erupting and leaving Tom dead. He repeatedly hiccups, an enraged Tom looks at his ruined teeth in a mirror, and then destroys both the mirror and the book before Tom goes insane and attempts to blow up Jerry with dozens of explosives. Tom attempts to lure Jerry into a mouse-sized "hotel," the door of which leads into Tom's open mouth, but to Tom's dismay, Jerry ushers the mechanical mouse into the hotel first, which Tom swallows. Tom, now covered in bandages (including one wrapped around his bisected torso), reads the twelfth chapter of the book, Mice are Suckers for Dames, which makes him wind up a toy mouse. Hearing nothing inside, Jerry looks inside the box, and in horror, he gulps and displays a sign reading " IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?" With no response, he returns with a bunch of pins before sawing the box in half. Tom then attempts to hide inside a large gift box before knocking on Jerry's wall. Jerry then pops out of a hole behind a picture right above Tom, grabs the mallet, and hits him, knocking him unconscious.
Tom then tries to use a mallet to flatten Jerry. Just as Tom sits down, the trap triggers, causing pain and sending him up into the roof. Just then, Jerry walks outside from another hole behind Tom and puts it behind him. Tom sets a bear trap and sticks it inside Jerry's hole. In the next scene (and every scene after that until the end), Tom wears a dodgy, orange toupée. However, the barrel of the gun bends outwards, pointing straight at Tom's head as the cat fires and ends up shooting himself in the head, rendering himself bald. Tom forces a shotgun into Jerry's mousehole. Jerry screams into the microphone, which is almost deafening Tom. Upon reading Chapter VII, Tom uses a stethoscope to listen for Jerry within the walls of the house. (Voiced by William Hanna.)Īt this point, Tom stops reading from chapter-to-chapter and skims the book, trying suggestions that he likes or thinks will work. But Jerry fights back and beats Tom offscreen, after this, Tom drones " Don't you believe it!". (This trick was pulled again in Safety Second.) After reading in the book the fact that A Cornered Mouse NEVER FIGHTS, Tom pounces onto Jerry. Tom inspects them only to get punched in the eye and leaving Jerry to escape. But when Tom grabs him, Jerry pulls the same trick on him with his fists. A curious Jerry ventures out of his hole and Tom captures Jerry by shutting him into the book. Tom's next attempt at catching Jerry is to laugh noisily while reading the book. When Tom peeks back at the trap, he sees the cream and drinks it while Jerry activates the trap, sending the cat out to the tree himself. Tom soon sets a snare trap around a piece of cheese, ready to pull the string but Jerry sneakily replaces the trap with a bowl of cream.
Shocked at the trap's failure, Tom tests it before the trap snaps as soon as he touches it, irritating him greatly.
Jerry, however, succeeds in freeing the cheese from it. Tom sets out the trap and tests it by snapping it by touching it with a feather. Tom "locates" the mouse, but when Tom tries to grab Jerry, the rodent steps off the book and slams Tom's nose in it.
The first thing the book suggests is to locate the mouse.
#PMOUSE AND CHEESE WATCH HOW TO#
Tom acquires a book on how to catch mice and for the rest of the cartoon, takes its advice to attempt to catch Jerry.
