Triple Trouble
- Studio
- Hanna-Barbera Studios
Synopsis
A squirrell's quiet repose is disrupted when he becomes "besieged with trespassers"; those "trespassers" being Tom & Jerry, who plan to chop down his tree and use its logs for a cabin. He foils their first two attempts, but becomes netted by Tom. The squirrel pleads to the cat and mouse to spare his tree, and a camraderie forms between the trio, just in time to face a problem of a different nature: Spike the bulldog, who is bulldozing trees to make room for a freeway! Tom, Jerry and the squirrel each sabotage Spike's plans by sabotaging his bulldozer; the squirrel works out a deal with Spike by providing him with alternate plans for the freeway to go around the tree instead of through it.

Production notes
The squirrel speaks in a voice which is reminiscent of Bert Lahr, best remembered as The Cowardly Lion from The Wizard Of Oz (MGM, 1939). Bert's own voice inspired Daws Butler's vocal interpretations of Snagglepuss and Jonathan "Mudsy" Muddlemore of The Funky Phanton (ABC, 1971-73).
John Stephenson voices Spike. He is the third voice actor to portray the bulldog, after Don Messick and Joe E. Ross.
