Jerry mail-orders roller skates to mess with Tom, but Tom buys the same skates and has trouble trying to skate.
Synopsis[]
Massive destruction is occurring in the Tom and Jerry household as Tom is chasing Jerry. As Jerry barely manages to get into the safety of his mouse hole he sees a TV commercial for Zip-Zip Roller Wheels, ultra fast roller blades. Jerry tries them out in his mouse hole and then zips right over Tom, outside his mouse hole, leaving a trail of fire behind him. Tom starts to chase Tom, but Jerry easily evades Tom. Jerry taunts Tom with a red cape causing a slight bull fighting moment where Tom ends up crashing into the washing machine. After the washer completes its cycle, Tom gets out and sees the same commercial that Jerry saw for Zip-Zip Roller Wheels. Tom rushes to the Sporting Goods store to get his own pair to chase after the mouse. Tom returns home and runs right over a stunned Jerry. The chase is back on a level playing felid, but Jerry out wits Tom at every turn. After a chase down the stair railing, the two foes end up in a piano where Tom torments Jerry with the hammers in the piano, until Tom gets smashed by the piano. The chase commences again with Jerry evading Tom by leaving a trail of oil and then super glue. The chase then goes outside where Tom and Jerry race pass a gang of dogs, whom Tom taunts. Tom is chased by the does and they all end up doing laps at the roller derby arena. Jerry saves Tom from the dogs, only to have the does chase him instead. Tom reciprocates and helps Jerry out by using a large magnet to get all the wheels off the dogs' roller skates. The dogs fly out of the arena and into a waiting moving van. As the van leaves, Tom and Jerry high five it but start their chase anew.
