The cartoon begins with a demonstration for the Tom and Jerry Cartoon Kit, with which "anyone can now enter the lucrative field of animated cartoons." The items in the kit include the following:
1)"One mean, stupid cat" (Tom)
2)"One sweet (innocent), lovable mouse" (Jerry)
3)"Assorted deadly weapons" (a knife, a hammer, and a stick of dynamite)
4)Coffee and cigarettes (removed from the kit and described as being "for the cartoonists")
5)A slice of watermelon.
