What's the name of the mouse?
The cartoon opens with a circle showing Jerry running but as the circle grows, it is revealed that Jerry is going nowhere as Tom captured his tail. When Tom's owner calls Tom he lets Jerry's tail go, freeing him back into his cage. The owner of Tom and a large mansion tells Tom he is going away for a while, that the mansion is in perfect shape and that he does not want Tom blaming the mouse for any destruction this time. Of course, this means Tom will spend most of the cartoon chasing Jerry across the mansion, causing extensive damage.
First, Tom kicks Jerry out of the mansion, sits on the sofa and eats lots of food stolen from the refrigerator while watching television (A clip of Muscle Beach Tom is shown). Afterwards, traditional chase and damage happen. Among the sequences include Jerry shoving Tom into a VCR and shelving the resulting cassette-sized cat, Tom trapping Jerry in a coffeemaker, Jerry trapping Tom in a refrigerator, Jerry sucking Tom and half the living room into a vacuum cleaner and finally Tom chasing Jerry through the yard and into the house on a riding lawnmower to which Tom accidentally crashes the lawnmower into his owner's returning car, who then tells Tom that he "makes a better hood ornament than a house cat".
