Plot[]
A building is being built by construction workers. Spike the Bulldog walks out of the Dog House then he watch the building is being built then Spike is taking a nap. Suddenly Spike wakes up and looks at the half-done building and hears the workers screaming in pain. They accidentally injure themselves and an ambulance arrives and its crew brings all the injured workers. Before they could bring them one of the workers, which is the construction director, orders Spike to be in charge of building the building which he did so. The construction director gives the hardhat to Spike. As the ambulance leaves the construction site, Tom and Jerry enter the place in their usual antics. After Jerry goes into the pipe, Tom gets stuck into it until Spike pulls him out and gives the cat a job to finish the building along with another hardhat and his own wrench as Jerry listens in their conversation from inside the pipe. While working on the top floor, Tom causes Jerry to fall in the wet cement that Spike just finished on. As a result, Spike throws Jerry over to the construction paper plans giving him an idea by changing some plans of the building, which he draws something on the blueprints and snickers. As Tom hammers a wooden nail to the ground, Jerry whistles for his attention from the building and unties the string sending the giant wrecking ball to knock him into a tiny mini pieces and his hardhat falls to the ground.
Tom chases Jerry around the building and climbs onto the carrying beams to find him not there but he does see Jerry above the hook part taking the screw off sending Tom and the beams falling down. As Spike was about to drink his cup of joe, three beams fall down almost crushing him and Tom slams down head off smashing his coffee mug and on the beam with his hardhat landing on his behind. Spike tells Tom that he's going to forget about being striked by the beams but not for disturbing his coffee break and throws him back up into the building again.
During the rest episode, Tom is still working by using a blowtorch on the beams, Jerry is eating a sandwich from a lunchbox and gets spotted. Tom chases Jerry to the end of the building edge, cuts through with his blowtorch and causing the entire building to fall down completely while Jerry stays alive.
Spike hands Tom the plans and orders him to finish the building or he'll threaten to beat him up because if the buidling isn't finished by tomorrow morning, he'll lay himself out a new foundation. Tom finishes the building in ultra-speed as Jerry watches. Spike then congratulates him, but he screams and looks up, demanding Tom what he did to the building and Tom looks up and screams. Jerry was sitting at the top of the building, which revealed a statue of his head with a smile on his face. Unknown to Spike and Tom, Jerry must have drawn his head on the construction paper plans.
