Plot
Thanks to a VR setup, Jerry plays a game in which Mrs. Two Shoes liked him and hated Tom. Butch makes a cameo, in his last (feline) appearance in the series. Tom is drawn in the same circa-fifties style as in "Kitty Cat Blues", but Jerry gets mad at Tom and throws the pots at him. Jerry has a good dream, and then Tom wears a helmet and Spike is scared of Tom, so Tom ends up chasing Spike.
Trivia
- This episode breaks the fourth wall when its 6-minute run-time is referenced when Jerry finishes his 6-minute VR-setup.
Notes
- For a split-second, Mrs. Two-Shoes head could be seen very briefly when Jerry pulls her down by the robes mistaking it for Tom's tail.
