Plot
In the cartoon, Tom is seen living the high life in a penthouse, while Jerry is seen with an empty stomach looking for food. Jerry sees a lunchbox at a construction site and jumps into it to have a meal, but the steel beam on which the lunchbox sits is lifted into the air, then slides off, landing (along with Jerry and the food) on Tom's patio. Tom grabs the food and uses it to make a Jerry sandwich, but Jerry escapes while Tom is eating it. Tom gives chase, which ultimately leads to Tom falling off the penthouse patio and tumbling across the construction site into a building hosting a dog show and the dogs in the building attacks Tom while biting him and barking at him. Jerry is now in Tom's penthouse, enjoying the high life as Tom was at the start. Jerry drinks some juice by connecting 3 straws and ends up swallowing a whole ice cube. Jerry decides to just take a nap.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“James’s great gift, of course, was his ability to tell a plot in shimmering detail with such delicacy of treatment and such fine aloofness—that is, reluctance to engage in any direct grappling with what, in the play or story, had actually “taken place”Mthat his listeners often did not, in the end, know what had, to put it in another way, “gone on.””
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
