"Frown and Country" is an episode of the third season of The Tom and Jerry Show (2014). It is the 146^th episode overall.

Synopsis

Jerry is suffering the springtime blues, but at Muscles' suggestion, Jerry just might find romance.

Plot

It's springtime, and Jerry is observing love in the air, including seeing multiple animals in pairs together. This ends up making him disheartened, so much so that he doesn’t even notice Tom wanting to mess with him. Spike explains that Jerry’s experiencing the “springtime blues,” meaning he’s lonely and wants to meet a girl mouse. Tom then leaves Jerry alone as Spike decides to antagonize him instead. Jerry then receives a letter from his cousin Muscles, who’s going to be taking two mouse girls out on the town, one of whom wants to meet him. Jerry immediately leaves, while Tom & Spike decide to spice up their chase by having Tom chase Spike up a tree.

That night, Jerry arrives at a club called Club Sandwich, where Muscles introduces him to his date, the feisty showgirl Miss Betty Sue, who Muscles gets along with better than his own date, the shy and silent Olive. During the night, Betty Sue involves Jerry in a song-and-dance performance, more dancing, and a performance involving whipping balloons on a spinning wheel while blindfolded, all of which end up leaving Jerry tuckered.

By 1 AM, Olive has left already, presumably due to not feeling well, but Muscles and Betty Sue decide they want to spend more time out on the town, and Jerry reluctantly joins them. The trio then proceed to spend the night going to casinos, wrestling matches, and more clubs. At dawn, Jerry is too exhausted to keep up and ditches Muscles & Betty Sue. During the walk back, he finds Olive waiting for a cab. Having bonded with her briefly at Club Sandwich, he offers to walk her back, which she happily accepts. The two young mice then walk arm in arm out of the city as a heart-shaped cloud forms in the sky.
