Spike and his girlfriend Toodles mistake Tom and Jerry for valets, as a result of which upon leaving their car to be parked while checking themselves in a hotel, Tom and Jerry unwillingly go on a wild and elaborate joyride across town.
Tom is assigned to guard his owner’s garden of crops against pests, including Jerry and a clan of harvest mice who all resemble him (albeit with different-colored bandanas).
A sequel to Pecos Pest (1955), Jerry’s uncle, Pecos Pest, returns to Tom and Jerry’s house for a visit, where he constantly sings and plays on his guitar, annoying and keeping both Tom and Jerry awake.
