Plot[]
Having been banned from Air Travel, Ginger sadly watches as the airplane flys by and says if it wasn't for their pets, Spike and Tom she and Rick would be sleeping in our own bed. While pulling their tray of lauggage, Tom and Spike in their pet carriers with Jerry and Tuffy in their suitcase Rick told her at least their vacation is just beginning and they get to travel across the countries on the opening road, do sigtseeing and visit her great Auntie Claire. Rick introduces Ginger the black new car but it drives away showing the old rusty brown car which they are taking.
Rick and Ginger are buckled in while Spike pulls his seatbelts but attaches Tom's tail to it causing him to pull and kissing it as Jerry and Tuffy, also tagging along, laugh until Tom flicks their faces and throws them in the suitcase. Rick starts the old rusty car up and starts driving while Spike rides his head out the window. Just then, a white campervan drives behind and overtakes them as a hooded dog pops out the window, gets out his frying pan, smacks Spike in the face and laughs. After the van drives ahead, Tom laughs at Spike's brusied eye and the dog releases the seatbelt into his mouth.
The family makes their first stop and while Spike gets out to strentch, Tom sees on the World's Largest Ball of Yarn and hugs it. Jerry and Tuffy run past Spike who was taking picture with his camera, gets splashed by the campervan from eariler and marches over it thinking the same guy with the frying pan. As Tom was still hugging the giant ball of yarn, Jerry ties the cat's tail to the string. Spike looks in the van to see nothing until he looks up to the same dog with the frying pan and describes him as The Doggie of Doom. Rick grabs both Spike and Tom into the car but the string was still tied to the cat's tail and as they drive away, the entire ball comes loose.
The second stop was The World's Largest Axe where Spike snaps a picture of it but captures the pic of The Doggie of Doom who cackles. Spike panics wondering why that hooded dog is following him and notices he wants to kill him with the giant axe. Spike quickly rushes over to get Tom who was taking a picture of the world's smallest axe with his own camera and brings him where he saw the hooded dog but he wasn't there then a small puppy appeared and Tom laughs histerically when Tuffy wanted to take their picture for the memories. As Tom and Spike get ready to pose for the picture, Jerry sneakily unscrews the bolt that keeps the giant axe in its place. Suddenly, Tom leans on the giant axe causing it to roll down the hill with him and Spike holding on. All the tourists run out of the way from the giant axe as it rolls into a crop circle and almost killed Spike and Tom. The woman told the police officer that Tom over there and he goes over to them. Tom grabs Spike, heads to the car and drives off while the humans were too late to catch them.
While Tom and Spike were asleep together, Jerry sprays cheese cream on the dog's paws and into his own mouth then Tuffy tickles the dog's nose with a feather causing him to put cheese cream all over his face. Tuffy tickles Spike's left and the dog gets all over himself as he wakes up then he sees sleeping Tom with a cheese spray in his hand thinking he did this. Spike squirts cheese stuff through Tom's right ear making his eyes turn orange and the two mice laugh. Just then, Spike looks through the car mirror seeing the same caravan again and the hooded dog was there cackling again and quickly tells Tom. Spike sees the evil dog with dynamite and tries to roll up the window but it was too late and the sticks were thrown inside as the caravan drives away. Spike hands the dynamite to Tom who climbs out the car roof holding on and the dynamite goes off. Covered up black suds, Tom gets back inside between Spike, Jerry and Tuffy but turns into sand.
The family reaches the rest stop. As Rick and Ginger head inside, Spike eyes on snacks from the vending machine and takes Tom with him. While Spike keeps watch, Tom reaches in through the machine to get the snacks but he could not get it so Spike helps out by pushing the cat's head into the machine. Although, Tom still couldn't reach it so Spike pulls him aside saying he's as useless as all the furballs he coughs up and takes over by getting out a coin, inserts it, presses buttons and hot tortitos fall down.
After Spike gets the crisps out, Tom snatches it away and both of them fight over the tortitos until the packet rips and the chips fall on the ground. As Spike scolds at Tom, they see their owners back in the car and driving off without them and try to catch up. Now, Tuffy and Jerry are now at the backseat while Spike sobs that he and Tom are alone together helpless until they meet Ginger's Aunt Claire who tries to call their owners but no answer so she plans to take care of them in the meantime and said she's got plenty of room and snack much to Spike and Tom's reliefs. Aunt Claire also introunces Tom and Spike to her pet hooded dog, Hannible, drags Spike inside the caravan and throws Tom in too.
Meanwhile in the car, Tuffy and Jerry were enjoying themselves in the backseat until Ginger and Rick find them and shooes them away with a magazine while wondering where Spike and Tom are and driving at the same time. Then, they all saw two dump trucks coming, squeezes through and go off the road damaging the car. Jerry and Tuffy hide in the green suitcase while Ginger and Rick take a train to get to her aunt's house and hope someone finds Tom and Spike so they can get them. On the train, Rick assured his wife not to worry whereas in the caravan, Aunt Claire was still driving on the road while Hannible gets out his claw scaring Tom and Spike as they try to get out but the door was locked so they head to the bathroom and Hannible claws on the door worrying Spike until Tom spots the opening roof. Hannible breaks through the door to see Spike and Tom climb shutting the top door, scowls and follows them. Just then, Spike and Tom see the train, then jumps on of it while Hannible was too late to catch them as Claire turns to the exit sign on the left and he makes an execution sign while Spike and Tom sigh with relieve.
At the train station, Rick, Ginger, Tom and Spike were now reuinted again and call a taxi which takes them to their final destination. As Rick and Ginger meet with her Aunt Claire, Tom and Spike see the caravan again parked next to her house and Hannible was about to get them but Jerry comes to the rescue by knocking the evil dog out with his frying pan.
