Plot[]
Tom is having a dream about being a superhero, but he's woken up by Mrs. Two Shoes. After she leaves to go shopping, Tom chases Jerry to the garden and they fall into a hole. They find a mysterious base and Tom is dressed in a superheroine outfit (Power Gal's suit). Tom and Jerry are sent outside to apprehend Butch, Topsy, and Meathead, who are presently engaged in a crime spree. The three cat burglars tease Tom for wearing a girl's outfit, took him out easily by causing him to spin into the postbox and stomp on his tail too. Jerry tries to help but the cats throw him into the postbox too. Moments later, the real Power Gal appears and defeats the three cat burglars before leaving and taking her spare power outfit back. With the cat burglars being arrested by the police, Tom and Jerry return home and Mrs. Two Shoes arrives too. They all watch the crime news and as she goes up to her bedroom, her boots light up; Tom and Jerry are surprised to find that Power Gal is really Mrs. Two Shoes but they smile anyway and the episode ends with Jerry winking to the audience.
