"Beefcake Tom" is the thirty-fifth episode of Tom and Jerry Tales, originally airing on April 28, 2007.
Synopsis[]
In an attempt to get an overweight Tom back into running shape, Jerry has him chase him through a gym to make him use the equipment available.
Plot[]
At night, Tom is watching television while eating pizza and drinking at the same time. After he's finished with his soda can, he throws it at Jerry's mouse hole, and the mouse comes out shortly afterward. Jerry signals for Tom to chase him and runs off, but comes back after realizing that Tom isn't chasing him.
Jerry then climbs on top of Tom to see that Tom is too focused on the TV to do anything. Jerry takes the remote and smacks Tom in the face with it, angering him, Jerry runs through a hole in the door, while Tom runs into the door and gets slingshotted back before opening the door. Jerry sticks the remote in Spike's mouth before Tom pulls it out, angering Spike into beating him up. Tom lands next to Jerry, who runs off, prompting Tom to chase him.
The chase continues into the streets, where Tom's stomach makes him slower than Jerry as well as quickly exhausting him. Jerry turns around to see Tom, already completely exhausted, leaning on a light post catching his breath, Jerry taunts him by punching Tom in the stomach. Angered, Tom tries to throw his own stomach away, only to throw himself with it, though he quickly gets back up and continues the chase, however he exhausts himself quickly again. Jerry taunts Tom again by punching him repeatedly in the nose, and then headed towards a cutout of a boxing corner sitting on a bottlecap. Tom looked at Jerry in front of the neon sign of a gym.
In his rage, Tom throws the 100lb barbell that he previously struggled to lift at Jerry, smashing through a wall. This prompted Jerry to run for his life. Tom started chasing Jerry with a heavy barbell with many plates of different weights each (45lb - 25lb - 10lb) and throwing plates at Jerry with great power, smashing through various objects and walls.
When the bar became empty, he started riding the exercise bike, pedalling so hard that it detached from it screws and was just going on one wheel, yet Tom was fast enough to catch up with Jerry. Jerry then went to the gymnastics room through the pillars, which Tom broke through them effortlessly with the bike, tearing the place down into rubble. The chase came to the bench where Tom was previously crushed by the weight, Tom broke through the bench, yet the weight attached to the end of the bike, cracking through the floor in the process. The chase goes through the main hallway, cracking down the floor with Tom's bike.
Jerry runs through a room with a mirror, looks at Tom for a second, and prompts him to stop. Tom stops, glancing at the mirror at his newfound physique. Tom jumps athletically out of the bike and had a better look of it, he flexed his bicep first, showing a huge ball of muscle, then flexing his chest and traps, and finishing off with a side tricep flex, he clearly admires his new body. Tom effortlessly lifts the bike with the weight attached to it with one hand and throws it into the air. Happy for Tom, he starts running excitedly, just to be stopped by muscle bound Tom, who in his revenge squeezes Jerry and uses him as a dumbbell.
