Synopsis
Sylvester is sleeping on the ledge outside the office of Dr. Jekyll (whom we see in his office drinking the potion which turns him into a monster). Sylvester wakes up and chases the birds off the ledge. Tweety flies by, and Sylvester chases him into Jekyll's lab. Tweety hides in the Hyde formula, and he becomes a giant Tweety monster terrorizing Sylvester. When Tweety returns to normal, Sylvester resumes the chase, always being caught with Tweety in a tight situation when the little bird reverts to "Mr. Hyde" size.

Hyde And Go Tweet
One of the few highlights of Tweety's career at this point. Sylvester chases Tweety into a laboratory inwhich Tweety hides from Sylvester in some "Hyde" formula. The effects of this formula turns Tweety into a huge monster and then back to his own self over and over again. This makes for one of the oddest and most ingenious chases in S&T and cartoon history. Sylvester chases Tweety in his regular form but is then chased by Tweety is monster form.
Of course, only the later, passive Tweety could have pulled this off. It's this contrast to his monster form that makes this cartoon work. The original Tweety tuning into a huge monster would be redundant.
Of course, this entire thing tuns out to be just a nightmare Sylvester was having. When "helpless" little Tweety shows up at the end, the joke is that Sylvester runs off in terror. However, Sylvester should be running from Tweety in a terrified state. The original Tweety that is. But, like in this cartoon, that whole bit was just a dream at that point.

I find the the Tweety version of Mr. Hyde hysterical. Poor Sylvester, who thinks of himself as very smart, never seems to understand what is turning his meal into a monster.
