Synopsis[]
It's a snowy day and Jerry and Tom are excited to sled, but Spike declares himself King of the Mountain for their sled hill to which the cat and mouse decide to dethrone him.
Plot[]
On a snowy mountain, Jerry wipes a window with his hands to form a head. Then he puts both hands on the window, looks through and sees the tallest mountain. Jerry beams with excitement, putting on his winter hat, runs into his mousehole, and climbs up through the wall. Tom is sleeping by the fireplace when he hears a thump. Jerry slides down the water spout and crashes into the tree, causing the snow and leaves to fall on him. Jerry emerges from the pile of snow and hops onto the leaf and slides down on the pile of snow and he shakes off the snow on his face. Jerry then lays on the ground and makes a snow angel so deep and fast.
Then Jerry spots a tall snowy hill, heads up to the top with his leaf, looks around, takes a deep breath and sleds down the hill. Suddenly, Jerry goes too fast, spins out of control, fall into the snow bump, comes out of all dizzy, coughs and runs back to the hill after covering from his crash. Just then, Jerry spots Tom sledding down the hill on his sled and hops on his leaf. Tom sleds after Jerry and slides snow making him into a snow lollipop. Tom sees Spike who steps his sled and launches him into the tree with a tiny door opens and he sticks out with tongue revealing a squrriel in bed. Irritated, the Squrriel slams its door in Tom's face and leaves. Spike chuckles at Tom's prediction as Jerry slides by and avoids getting stomped on by the dog's foot while his leaf gets destroyed.
However, Spike flicks Jerry with his right toe and he gets rolled into a snowball. Holding the sled while laughing, Spike tells Tom and Jerry to stay out his way as he shows them how a real sledder takes the hill. At the top of the hill, Spike delcares himself King of the Hill, makes a Tazarn yell, coughs, hops on the sled and slides down. Tom pulls himself out of the tree and falls to the ground where Jerry is standing below but he runs out of the way. They both see Spike coming their way and dive head first but he makes a sharp turn and makes their bodies as snow turkeys. Spike calls Tom and Jerry a regular riot and tells them to call in the law. With that, Tom and Jerry build a snow cop with a hat, shades glove, leaf badge and donut as they hear Spike coming and hide behind it as Jerry blows his whistle. Unfortunately, Spike dashes right into it making a snow cage putting Tom and Jerry behind bars. Spike wearing hat, shades and eating a donut, thanks them.
Spike prepares to sled down the hill again as Tom and Jerry hide behind a snow icicle then gets an idea and uses it as a lance challenging him to a duel. The battle ends with Spike swallowing the icicle and Tom slaps it out with the sled. Spike takes the sled and makes Tom lick it which would be better for his health if he did. So Tom reluctantly sticks out his tongue a little but Spike ties to the sled. Then Spike grabs Jerry, pushes his tail in and sticks his tongue out and ties it to the sled too. Now, Spike takes them up the top of the hill for a sled ride. Spike shouts out his motto again much to Tom and Jerry's chargin, jumps on the sled and takes them down with him. Spike grabs hold of a tree branch, swings around and laughs sending Tom and Jerry to another tree with their tongue tied in a towel over the branch as the Squrriel from eariler takes it back and they drop to the ground.
Tom and Jerry throw the edge of the hill icy as Spike sleds down again and they throw the bucket away and hide. Spike sleds over the icy ledge with the bucket landing on his face. Tom and Jerry run as they watch Spike remove the bucket off his head and crashes into the pine tree revealing The Squrriel in the toliet reading his newspaper and he gets angry again. Tom and Jerry run across the frozen lake as Spike crashes right under them creating a hole in the lake.
Back at the house, the trio are bandaged up trying to get warm up in a giant bowl of hot water. Spike hugs Tom and Jerry for the best holiday fun ever and gives them a present to show his appreciation. Tom and Jerry open the present which was a new sled. Spike says they all going to have fun all winter long but Tom and Jerry threw the sled in the fireplace and have it burned up as the episode ends.
