Plot[]
Fed up with Jerry in the house, Tom and his owner Mrs. Two Shoes decide to move to Malaysia. While they are touring the exotic monkey garden, Jerry comes out of the red flower until he sneeze blowing the flower petals out. Mrs. Two Shoes questions why this mouse follows them everywhere and tells Tom to get rid of Jerry. So Tom kicks Jerry so far away that the mouse lands all the way to the pond. Sopping wet and goes to the waterfall and he tumbled onto the rocks by landing on his crotch on one rock, then sliding off to land on his head on another rock, and finally sliding off again and ending up sitting on a cactus. Tom takes out a bag of gumdrops and eats it but the real problem starts when a monkey is accidentally let loose by Jerry who loads a bag of gumdrops in Mrs. Two Shoes' purse because the monkey was very hungry (due to the sign saying nobody should feed the monkeys) and the monkey is very good to Jerry.
Seeing the monkey getting away with her purse, Mrs Two. Shoes sends Tom to catch him. As the monkey rages through the purse, Tom apporaches and see him listening to music while eating all the gumdrops and wearing headphones so Tom takes the music player and headphones from the monkey and listens to music while dancing, as Jerry disguised as a flower, sneaks under the sign saying DANGER MAN EATING PLANT. Then Tom bumps into the sign, reads it, sees the fences opened by Jerry who points to the man eating plant in front of Tom and he gets eaten. The plant also dances to the rhythm in his stomach earning an applause from The monkey.
Jerry whistles for the monkey's attention and gets him to climb up a tree. After being splatted, Jerry looks through Mrs. Two Shoes' photo album of Tom and laughs. Still rummaging through the purse while up in a tree, The Monkey makes a call to Tony's Pizzas using Mrs Two Shoes' mobile phone and orders 500 hand tossed pepperoni and banana pizzas. Tom climbs up the tree to get close to the Monkey who keeps zaps him with a Safe-T-Shock off and pummels to the ground. The Monkey finds Mrs. Two Shoes' car keys and heads to the parking lot followed by Jerry.
Meanwhile Jerry is still looking through more photos until Tom shows up and slams him inside with them all. Seeing the monkey in the tree eating bubble gum, Tom climbs up the tree to get close him. However, The monkey keeps zapping Tom with a Safe-T-Shock off causing him to pummels to the ground on the ladder. The Monkey finds Mrs. Two Shoes' car keys and heads to the parking lot followed by Jerry.
The monkey and Jerry drive downtown through the markets in Mrs. Two Shoes' car and Tom chases after them using a rickshaw. The Monkey asks an Asian Elephant to clean the car and she sprays water on it with her trunk but when Tom shows up, he wants an Elephant to clean him up, and instead, the Elephant sprays the mud all over him.
After seeing her car washed, new silk dress and baskets of fruit in the back seat, Mrs. Two Shoes changes her mind and thanks Jerry and the Monkey by giving them $5 each. Tony the pizza guy asked Tom if he ordered 500 pizzas and with the bill's delivery charge, that comes up to $10,000 much to his chagrin when it was clearly the monkey who made the call as the episode ends.
