Tricky McTrout

At a campsite by a lake, Tom and Jerry are awakened from a sound sleep by Tricky McTrout, a sly, wild, crafty and rather uncatchable fish! "Better fishermen than you two have tried to catch old Tricky!" reports the ranger who greets Tom & Jerry. Tom & Jerry set out to succeed where scores of "better fishermen" have failed, but all of their methods backfire, usually ending with Tricky continuously getting Tom and Jerry in dutch with the ranger. With a Super Hypnotic Lure, they manage to hypnotize Trikcy into thinking he is a duck, a beaver, a seal, and Moby Dick the whale. A final attempt with a fish-sensing sonar device proves to be the biggest bust of them all, as Tricky uses it to his mischievous advantage; he succeeds in luring Tom and Jerry, sonar device, boat and all right into the ranger station, completely demoilishing it. Deciding that this is the straw that broke the ranger's back, the ranger has Tom and Jerry ejected from his forest. Back home, the two diacard their Super Hypnotic Lure and take a nap, when they hear water sloshing. They are surprised to find Tricky McTrout bathing in their tub!
