Tom's gang is coming to Tom's place to see a film (shot by black cat Butch) called "Tom the Terrific Cat." This film is made in three parts, and Tom is beating up Spike in all of them. Jerry wants to see the film, too, but is kicked outside. In order to get revenge, he pushes a sleeping Spike up to a window. Spike goes completely mad when he sees the last cut of the film.

Production notes

Scenes in Butch's film are reused from earlier Tom and Jerry cartoons. "Lover Boy" is from "Solid Serenade" (1946), "The Dumb Dog" is from "Cat Fishin'" (1946), and "New Leash on Life" is from "Fit to Be Tied" (1952).

The roaring lion MGM logo in this cartoon differs slightly from other Tom and Jerry cartoon logos.

Songs: "Love That Pup" (Scott Bradley), "You Were Meant for Me" (Nacio Herb Brown-Arthur Freed), "Milkman, Keep These Bottles Quiet" (Don Raye-Gene DePaul), "That Old Feeling" (Lew Brown-Sammy Fain)
