Polka-Dot Puss
A lighthearted Tom and Jerry cartoon built entirely on slapstick trickery and physical comedy, where a mouse outwits a scheming cat with playful deception.
Tom pretends to have a cold in order to trick Mammy into letting him stay inside for the night. Jerry tricks Tom by making him think he really is sick - with the measles.
