Sleepy-Time Tom
Directed by Joseph Barbera, William Hanna
Produced by MGM Cartoon Studio
A lighthearted, slapstick-driven cartoon where Jerry's schemes to exhaust Tom into sleep drive the comedy through physical gags and escalating chaos.
Tom has been out late carousing with his chums. When he gets home, Mammy won't take any excuses, and insists he stay awake; Jerry, overhearing, thus tries a number of schemes to get Tom to sleep.
