Synopsis

Tom and Jerry come across a farmer whose home is falling apart because of a mouse problem. With a little help from their music, the farmer soon has his place in shape. Tom and Jerry's hot saxophone jazz jump-starts the depressed farmer and his comatose critters. The sleepy farmer from the Isle of Nantucket and the two tooting musicians dance and play music while milking a cow. The farmer spends his day with marching ducks, dancing cows in polka-dot skirts and more. Some days, working on the farm isn't so hard! Don't miss the skeleton in the exploding outhouse and the marching vegetables!

Production notes

This Tom and Jerry are not the same characters from the popular MGM Tom and Jerry series. This Tom and Jerry were the original characters of that name, and were developed by Van Beuren Studios. They're a Mutt and Jeff-ish pair: one is tall and skinny, the other short and plump.

The characters in this cartoon were renamed "Dick and Larry" for home market release.

The musical score includes "Wabash Blues."
