Puzzled Pals

A lost stork cannot find the house in which it's to deliver a baby. Finally, it settles on the abode of a pair of helpless chaps named Tom and Jerry. In the hands of this bratty little monster, a vacuum cleaner becomes nothing short of a lethal weapon. Tom and Jerry try to survive, and even their mice are in for a surprise with this one! In the end, the stork returns and reclaims the wiseguy baby... to the disappointment of the goofy pals.

Tom, Jerry, Stork, Baby, Mice

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.

Shows the jigsaw puzzle craze of that year, as also seen in Laurel and Hardy's "Me and My Pal" and "Dancing Lady" with the Three Stooges.
