Synopsis
A mischievous alien being, with the ability to transmogrify into anything (or anyone) he comes in contact with, lands on planet Earth and watches Tom & Jerry build a footlong sadwich. THe tricks Tom into letting him in by knocking on the door and, when Tom answers, bouncing inside while Tom isn't looking. The alien consumes the sandwich and, harrasses Tom by using his gift of his constant metamorphoses and masquerades as Jerry. While Tom dangles from a tree limb, the alien then molests Spike by disguising himself as Tom & Jerry. Spike, believing this is a dream, humiliates the real T&J while the alien bounces inside the house to consume more goodies. The chase continues from door to door in the house, until finally, they all corner themselves inside a closet, where the light switches on and off and reveals a second self of the trio! Spike, Tom and Jerry then develop a nervous breakdown. The doctor examines the three in bed and diagnoses that they suffer from a cute (or not so cute!) case of hallucination, and in showing them, he trans forms into Spike, then Tom, then Jerry, and then his old self again. The alien immediately dashes aboard his mini space ship and heads back for his own planet.
