The constructor thinks Tom wants a bigger house so Tom takes out the money until the constructor takes the money from him and walks away but the plank hits Tom with his tooth falling out and faints.

Wearing a hardhat, Tom looks through his binoculars and sees Jerry's builders still at work with his mansion. Tom sees his builders in the queue getting drinks. Annoyed, Tom orders the builders to get back to work but the constructor explains to him that this is their union contract coffee break and suggests he'd do it himself. So Tom takes control of the bulldozer but ends up crushing parts of it. The constructor says they are behind schedule for this re-build and Tom pays him more money again. Tom, using a tree as a disguise, sneaks behind Jerry who is looking at his plans which show a swimming pool and shows his constructor who tells him to dig a hole, pour concrete and add water.

Tom then attaches a hose pipe, turns on the water and holds it to his pool but it blasts him up high and he destroys his own gazebo, fountain, statue and mansion. Meanwhile, Jerry was relaxing in his pool with a drink now that his mansion is built while his constructor informs him about the addition. Tom no longer has enough money to pay his builders who refuses to rebuild his mansion. Tom hides in the wheelbarrow to avoid being runover again while his builders all quit. So Tom hurrily puts his mansion back together himself.

The next morning, Tom and Jerry's mansions are built next door to one another. Jerry waves to Tom while getting his newspaper and the cat picks his own up and waves back before going back inside. However, the mansion falls apart showing Tom old house which also breaks down revealing Tom looking around and the episode iris out on him.
