Tom and Jerry Collection (1940 - 1967) Season 1940 Full Episode Guide
It's beautiful day at a lake... one that's surrounded by a fence that's plastered all over with "keep out" and "no fishing" signs. Not to mention the bulldog (Spike) who guards it. But that doesn't stop Tom, as he takes a chance by sneaking in to go fishing anyway, using Jerry as live bait...
It's a moonlit night, and Tom wants to impress a cute female kitten (Toodles). So he brings a guitar, ties up Spike, the one guarding Toodles' property, and plays a serenade for Toodles. Unfortunately for Jerry, who happens to dwell close by, the serenading disturbs his sleep. More annoyed than ever, he decides to do all he can to ruin Tom's night.
When Tom loses his patience with chasing Jerry constantly, he hires a mouse exterminator (Butch) to get rid of Jerry once and for all. Once Butch arrives, everything goes according to plan... but not for long. Jerry quickly gains the upper hand, backfiring all capture attempts upon both Tom and Butch.
A lost baby mouse is found by Jerry. His name is Nibbles. He's always hungry, and eating anything he can get his teeth into. Jerry takes care of the baby, while he does his best to keep him far away from Tom. But Nibbles' hunger gets the better of him, when he proceeds to drink Tom's milk. Tom chases Nibbles around the house, as Jerry tries to save him, repeatedly.
Tom is in love with his new girlfriend, a white cat. He makes her feel special, as he gives her little kisses, etc. Mischievous little Jerry thinks of something to break up the new couple. He writes a fake letter to an alley cat, telling him that the white cat has fallen in love with him. Once the alley cat sees Tom with her, trouble stirs.
After Tom chases Jerry around the house, and makes a ton of noise, a grumpy Spike tells Tom that if he hears one more thing, he will do his worst.
Tom has Jerry caught. He is just ready to eat him, when an eagle comes in, and takes Jerry away.
Tom and Jerry are at a golf course. Tom uses Jerry as a tee. After playing atrociously, and getting hit with a ton of golf balls, he is attacked by everything on and off the course. Jerry, of course, does whatever he can to get back at Tom for using him as a tee.
Jerry decides to move out of the country, and into the big city. He writes a note for Tom, telling him about his departure. He arrives in the city to have bad luck everywhere. He is chased by traffic, chased by cats, hit with different things, and is shot at by the police. Jerry knows that the city is just not for him. He goes back to the country, and tears the note he wrote for Tom to shreds. It's good to be home.
Tom hits Jerry with a hammer, and is used as a servant for his new girlfriend. Tom dresses Jerry up as a waiter, and makes him do whatever he says. Jerry starts to fight with Tom, and Tom does the same. His girlfriend is turned off by all this. So she leaves, as the cat and mouse go back to the usual fighting.
Tom starts to read a book called "How to catch a Mouse". Although, the traps are set for Jerry... the clever mouse thwarts Tom's plan to catch him, and Tom goes through all the traps in a brutal way.
Tom chases Jerry right into a dog pound. Jerry makes himself comfortable once there, knowing that Tom will never follow him in. Tom thinks of something, though. He puts on a dog mask, and acts like a dog, going into the pound. After chasing Jerry for a while, he tells all the dogs that Tom's really a cat under the mask. All of the dogs chase Tom out of the pound.
In a heroic effort, Jerry rescues Spike from the dogcatcher. Spike thanks him by telling him to whistle whenever he needs help if Tom chases him.
The usual chase is going on between Tom and Jerry, until a letter arrives. Tom reads it and finds out that he inherited one million dollars by one of his uncles! He cheers in happiness, until Jerry reads it, and points out one detail that Tom missed. Tom can't harm any living thing - not even a mouse! Jerry rejoices the inheritance because since Tom is not allowed to hurt any living thing, it means he can get away with doing anything he wants without Tom fighting back. Jerry proceeds to torture Tom by taking advantage of his new life, sleeping in his bed and eating all of his food. Finally, after Tom loses his breakfast and gets a pad of butter in the eye, he loses it and begins to beat up Jerry. He then says, "Gee, I'm throwing away a million dollars... BUT I'M HAPPY!!"
Tom gives Jerry, as a present to a girl cat he really likes. The girl doesn't accept the gift, and Tom goes back to the house with a pout. He hears on the radio about a zoot suit. Tom cuts out and sews together a very tight and nice-looking suit. He goes back to the girl cat's house, and as soon as she sees Tom's new suave look, she swoons. Tom acts like Charles Boyer, and he makes the girl fall in love with him. Jerry sees he has to ruin this. He does something to anger Tom, which makes him chase Jerry around the house, and tripped into a fishbowl. The suit shrinks to Jerry's size, and Jerry wears it. He takes Tom's place, and acts like a mini Charles Boyer to the girl cat.
A little girl is dollying up Tom to make him look like a baby cat. Jerry laughs at him, prompting Tom to chase him around the house into a dollhouse. Jerry dresses up like a doll to escape from Tom, without him noticing. Jerry shows the alley cats from outside the way Tom looks, and they laugh and make fun of him. The alley cats come in the house, and dress Tom in diapers and REALLY make him look like a baby. That's when the little girl appears, and makes the alley cats leave in a hurry. The little girl continues to turn Tom into a baby cat, while Jerry and the alley cats watch while laughing at him.
Tom is attacking Jerry with everything that's in the house. He throws vases, paper airplanes, lamps, and anything he can get his hands on to get Jerry. Basically, it's like a war is going on. Jerry retaliates by using a cheese grater, and using fireworks to fight Tom back with. (I.E. Yankee Doodle Mouse) They do the same thing fighting back and forth for the rest of the episode. It ends with Jerry winning the battle, as he blows up Tom using the fireworks, turning him into an American Flag.
After being framed by Jerry for breaking something, Tom is thrown out of the house by Mammy. Jerry is overjoyed that he has finally won. He sleeps in Tom's bed, drinks his milk, and makes himself comfortable in Tom's place. After a while, Jerry gets really bored and lonely over the fact that no one is chasing him. There's nothing to do. So, Jerry goes outside to find Tom, and Mammy screams for Tom to get the mouse out of the house. Tom chases Jerry all over the house for pretend to satisfy Mammy. Once Tom claims his territory again, Jerry comes back and makes Tom angry. And the chase starts all over again. Jerry is glad to have the excitement back.
Jerry is being chased into an alley, and is seen by an alley cat. The alley cat wants to eat him, but Tom steps in, and says that's his mouse. The two cats fight each other for Jerry, as he runs away trying to hide. The alley cat says to share the mouse, but Tom wants Jerry all for himself. So, they race to see who will catch Jerry first.
Tom chases Jerry on a farm, and Jerry hides by a hen. The hen is startled by Tom, so she hits him hard. Jerry dresses himself as a chick, and acts like he's one of the hen's. The rest of the chicks think Jerry is just another one of them. While Tom runs away from the hen, Jerry settles in by the mother and her chicks.
Tom and Jerry are at the bowling alley. Tom, repeatedly, tries to run over Jerry with his ball. He misses Jerry every time he rolls. Jerry gets back at him by putting the bowling ball on his foot, tying it to his tail, making it hit him when it rolls, etc.
Mammy brings home a cute little kitten who just happens to be a girl. Immediately when Tom sees the kitten, he is smitten. Tom tries to act cool around the kitten, and he gives her presents (such as fish). Jerry wants to ruin this.
Tom is chasing Jerry again, and they run into a bull dog. The bull dog gets angry, and starts to chase Tom AND Jerry.
On the radio, Tom listens to "The Witching Hour" that tells scary stories that almost give Tom a heart attack. After seeing Tom's reaction to the radio show, Jerry schemes a way to scare Tom. He moves everything in the house to make it seem like a ghost is in the house. Jerry does everything he can to give Tom a good spook. Tom gets so scared by all the strange things going on that he faints. Later, he finds out that Jerry was the one behind all this, so he chases him around the house. Accidentally, Tom attacks Mammy instead of Jerry, and she, once again, throws him out of the house.
It's Christmas Eve. Jerry sees a present wrapped in the shape of cheese.
Jerry decides to have a midnight snack. And what better than to have some nice, fresh cheese! He takes some from the fridge, but before he can eat it, Tom chases him for it. After breaking a lot of things, when chasing Jerry, Mammy hears the noise and comes down in a huff. Scared, Tom throws Jerry into the fridge to hide him. A bit later, Mammy finds Jerry in the fridge. She gets really angry, and throws Tom of out of the house. While Mammy is doing that, Jerry grabs the cheese, and finally eats it.
Tom chases Jerry all over their house, while Jerry foils Tom's plans to catch him. Tom breaks a lot of things in the house, while chasing Jerry, but that's when Mammy steps in. Mammy is Tom's owner. She tells him that if he breaks one more thing in the house, she's going to throw him outside. So, Jerry knocks over a lot of things in the house to make Mammy think Tom did it, and kick him outside. Tom tries his hardest to keep all these things from falling, so he won't be thrown outside.
