Shhh! is the twenty-second episode of Tom and Jerry in New York.
Synopsis[]
Tom sneaks into a library to catch Jerry.
Plot[]
At Central Park, Jerry wants an ice-cream bowl, which is already purchased by the customer. The vendor gives Jerry a cone instead. Tom snatches the ice cream cone from Jerry but he isn't happy with his ice-cream for long, because Tom forcibly takes it. Jerry kicks a can at Tom, which makes the cat collapse and Jerry can take over the dessert and consume it. Tom gets mad and chases Jerry. The mouse hides inside a blonde girl's backpack. Tom stops the girl, striking a cute face expression. As the blonde girl is impressed, Tom leaps at her and tries to get the backpack. The blonde girl fights off Tom and heads to the library.
Tom is tailing the blonde girl and gets exhausted after climbing stairs. After a brief search, he spots the backpack with Jerry inside. When he snatches it and flees, Tom accidentally drops a book. People inside the library focus his attention to keep silence. When Tom tries to reach Jerry, he makes additional noise, which focuses the attention of the strong librarian. The backpack owner notices she has been robbed by Tom, so she reports that. Tom is brutally forced to hand over the backpack and gets thrown away from the library.
After a short recovery, Tom uses a book throwing hole to sneak back to the library without being detected. When he grabs the backpack once again, Jerry sets the mobile phone to ring loudly so Tom put Jerry inside the backpack. The sound focuses the strong librarian's attention. Despite disabling the device, Jerry causes Tom to make more noise so the librarian goes to Tom and blonde girl but she tells the librarian that cat stole the backpack but Tom grab the backpack and run away until the librarian chases him and grab him and goes to blonde girl until the librarian grab the backpack from Tom and give it to blonde girl and the librarian scolded him for making noise in the library, with a set of firecrackers and a horn. Tom's moment of triumph is spoiled by the strong librarian for the second time in the episode. This time Tom manages to escape, only to fall on the blonde girl whom he stole the backpack. She makes Tom flee, but when she spots Jerry inside her backpack, she yells in panic. Tom uses the chaos to grab Jerry, then he tries to leave the area, being chased by the strong, outraged librarian.
The escape route leads through the book shelves' tops, which get collapsed by Tom, like dominoes. One of the shelves pins down the strong librarian, who is now defeated. The books eventually flood the building and spill outside with both animals, taking them down the stairs. Tom yells in rage, then silhouettes of people standing nearby in the park shush him and they were only kidding and they thought it was very funny. Tom strikes an upset facial expression and Jerry is laughing at him. The episode ends.
