Plot

The episode begins in New York morning. Jerry is waiting near the Hotdog Vendor's cart, where he observes a hotdog dropped by an unwary consumer. The vendor allows Jerry to eat the sausage with sauces on the ground. Unfortunately for Jerry, Tom manages to steal the Hotdog using an umbrella, then he eats the sausage it in front of Jerry. The mouse gets infuriated, as the cat mocks Jerry, so he attacks Tom by biting his toe. Tom jumps from pain, loses his umbrella, and proceeds to chase Jerry down the street into a claw machine. Jerry hides inside the device and Tom hits it, causing the coins to spill.

Jerry is mocking Tom and suddenly, he reveals a ring hidden under a football ball. The cat immediately thinks of getting the ring and giving it to Toodles Galore. With coins around him, Tom begins the obtain the bounty. The time passes as Tom is emptying the vending machine from items and Jerry keeps holding the ring. Tom gets infuriated, as despite he spent nearly all the money the vending machine has ejected, Jerry keeps holding the ring. The last coin is sacrificed and the crane grabs Jerry, so the ring is disposed. Unfortunately for Tom, Jerry keeps holding his intended gift for Toodles and flees away.

The chase leads to a convenience store. It turns out that Tom & Jerry reached the place when it is being closed for shoppers - first, an announcement is heard through a loudspeaker, then a wave of happy customers with stuff they bought charges headlong the exit. The animals have to hide behind a jewelry stand. When the people leave the place, the shop is being cut from the world outside, trapping the cat and the mouse inside.
