A lighthearted Tom and Jerry cartoon where Jerry discovers that victory without his rival is hollow, leading to a playful reconciliation.

Jerry crashes a vase onto Tom's head, which gets Mammy to throw Tom out. Jerry at first revels in his freedom, but soon tires of this, and, under a flag of truce, hatches a plan with Tom.
