Tom invite Toots pour un dîner élégant. Toutefois, il a fait l'erreur d'essayer de mettre Jerry à travailler, comme un garçon de service, un tire-bouchon, et d'autres tâches. Jerry s'accommode peu de cela, mais surtout pense à se venger de Tom, s'en prenant surtout la pointe de la queue de Tom, qui finit dans un sandwich, à l'intérieur d'un dessert, et dans un bougeoir. Pendant ce temps, Toots est pas trop contente de Tom qui est reçu fraîchement avec elle. Il y a une poursuite, bien sûr, avec Tom poignardant une dinde tandis que Jerry, en toute sécurité à l'extérieur, pousse des cris de douleurs. Tom se retrouve avec sa queue coincée comme un mât alors que Jerry peint "SS goutte à goutte» de son côté et que Toots le lance dans le bol à punch avec une bouteille de champagne.

An actor is killed during the performance of a play while critic Tony Woolrich (Dave O'Brien) is attending. Initially Woolrich is reluctant to investigate, even though he's encouraged to by his friend Romeo(Frank Jenks), who is also the taxi driver who brought him to the show, and acts as a sort of sidekick throughout the story. Later Tony is chewed out by his editor for not investigating when he happened to be at the scene of the crime, and so he takes an initially reluctant interest. Tony becomes more involved in the investigation when there is another murder, and when Claudia Moore (Kay Aldridge, in her last movie role), the girl he loves, is suspected, and is also possibly threatened by the killer.
