Tom and Jerry is a cat and a mouse that live together in a house. One day, Jerry wants to go outside for a while and wants Tom to watch the house while he's gone. Tom isn't too happy about this but agrees. When Jerry gets back, he sees that the house is in complete ruin and Tom is sitting on the couch with a can of soda, relaxing. Tom tells Jerry that he's been doing a lot of chores while Jerry was gone and deserves a break.
