A lighthearted cartoon comedy built on the warmth of an unlikely caretaker bond, where a baby bird's devotion to Jerry creates both comedic chaos and genuine tenderness amid Tom's relentless pursuit.

A lost baby woodpecker, that believes Jerry is its mother, does everything it can to save the mouse from Tom, who is once again in pursuit. A CinemaScope remake of the 1949 Tom and Jerry cartoon Hatch Up Your Troubles.
