At Mammy Two Shoes' house, Jerry Mouse is running across a tablecloth, but getting anywhere. As the view widens we see that Tom Cat is pulling the cloth like a treadmill off the end of a buffet. When Jerry reaches the end of the cloth, he then runs across to the other side of the table, but Tom quickly runs to the far end of the table, and opens his mouth. Although he cannot stop, Jerry grabs onto one of the cat's whiskers to swing himself back out, then escapes into his mousehole. Tom then knocks on the wall to get Jerry to come out, and patiently waits, but Jerry sneaks out through an electrical outlet around the corner. He sees a piece of cheese on a mousetrap and holds out the mousetrap to try to catch Tom's tail. When the cat's jumping tail repeatedly swishes past the trap, Jerry finally grabs his tail and sets it on the trap, which trips. He then runs for his life as Tom yelps in agony at his throbbing tail.
