The title card and credits are first shown. As Tom and Jerry are on a cruise ship heading to a tropical Caribbean beach, Tom looks out the window seeing a surfer riding a wave. Tom leaps for joy grabs his surfboard and takes of running, accidentally waking up Jerry. Tom tries to run with his surfboard out to the deck, but it jams in the door several times before he gets through. Then he takes a running leap, jumps onto his board, flying over the edge of the ship, and sails onto... the pier. He shugs, picks it up, takes off again and doing the same thing, lands... on medium-sized boat, and again until he finally makes it to the sea out of a row boat. Tom then lands on a large blue lump, which turns out to be a shark. Tom peers over at the other of surfers and hits the shark in the head, knocking it out.
