Let's begin now....
----It all began when Tom was planning to move house with his owner. "Hurry up, Tom. We're leaving." Tom got into the car, but Jerry wanted to go too. Tom tried to get rid of Jerry, but he ended up thrown out alongside him. He sealed Jerry up in his mousehole, but by the time he got back outside, his owner had left without him! He raced after her, but ended up in front of a fierce bulldog, and got chased back to the empty house, where he had to spend the night alone. The following day, however, a demolition crew came to knock the house down! The bulldog managed to escape in time, but Tom & Jerry weren't so lucky - the wrecking ball wrecked the house, and threw them into the air and into a tree. They watched as the house crumbled to pieces. They were homeless.

Tom was mad with Jerry, and set off to find a new home of his own. But Jerry followed behind him. Tom eventually reached the end of his tether, until he and Jerry met a street dog named Puggsy, and his friend, a flea called Frankie da Flea. "I've been on the streets two years now. My owners left me behind when they moved." And even Tom & Jerry spoke, as if by magic. "You talked!" they both said to each other in shock. Frankie and Puggsy explained that Tom and Jerry had to get along and be friends to survive.

It seemed that Tom & Jerry would have to work together to get a home of their own. But Tom, unfortunately, wasn't so keen on the idea he shoud be friends with Jerry. "A cat and a mouse... friends? That's disgusting. No way!" Puggsy and Frankie went to the alley to get something to eat, but by the time Tom managed to subdue Jerry, and get into the alley, they had already gone. But Tom got roped into a crazy dance number with some mean tough alley cats. Tom snuck away, but the Alley cats saw him, and chased him. Luckily, Jerry, who had managed to escape, quickly thought up a good plan which involved a sewer lid. He opened it, and all the alley cats fell down into the sewer.

Though Tom was grateful to Jerry for saving him from the alley cats, he still was bitter towards him. Suddenly, they heard footsteps. They hid, and then, they saw a little girl running across the bridge. They followed the little girl, and she was surprised to see them. Tom & Jerry found out that the girl's name was Robyn Starling, and she was friendly. She also said her mother had died when she was young, and her father, a famous explorer, had supposedly been killed in an avalanche in Tibet. She explained she was going there to find him and get away from her mean Aunt Figg. "She’s taken over the house! She moved me to the attic and gave my room to her dog, Ferdinand!"

Tom & Jerry were concerned, and decided they should take Robyn home to her aunt immediately. Robyn wasn't so keen, though. "You don’t know Aunt Figg." she warned them. "She seems sweet, but underneath she’s mean, real mean!"
Tom was more or less right. Aunt Figg was indeed crying. "Oh, my poor little Robyn! Find her, officer, please! The poor child! I don’t know how I’ll live without her!"
Puggsy was very grateful for the rescue. "Well, well, well, pretty fancy footwork, pussycat. Now, get goin' and give that orphan kid the good news."

Tom & Jerry wasted no time in getting back to Figg's mansion, and they told Robyn the news of her dad being alive.
Robyn, Tom & Jerry ran through the darkened city to the bridge, the same place they'd met the first time.
The next morning, Lickboot telephoned Figg from his office in the city with bad news. "Without proof that Robyn's been well cared for, we can't touch another penny of her father's money." he told her. This made Figg very angry. She needed Robyn,
Figg immediately understood what the plan was - they'd make a reward that they would have no intention of paying, all so she and Lickboot could get Robyn found and brought back.
"We've found her!" Figg cried, as Lickboot drove by the mansion to pick her and Ferdinand up. "Captain Kiddie's carnival!" Lickboot knew where that was, and he was gonna get them there. "I'II have us there before you can say 'one million dollars'!" he said as he drove toward the carnival.
Meanwhile, high up in the mountains of Tibet, Robyn's father, Michael Starling, had recieved word that his daughter had ran away, and he was very concerned. "If Robyn’s in trouble, there's only one place she’ll go." he murmured, as he flew back to an air base, and got a helicopter to fly back to America, to meet his daughter.
Robyn, Tom & Jerry sailed down the river, and soon they reached the cabin,
"If you know what's good for you, you'II never run away again. Never." he said firmly.
"Forget her!" Figg snapped. "We gotta save ourselves!"
