It is the Valentine's Day. The animal detectives are spending time at work by mocking one another with fake love letters. Jerry writes to Tom, that he's cute and Tom writes to Jerry, that he has lovely ears. Both detectives send their mail consecutively and get the letters delivered almost instantly. Both recipients laugh at each other. The prankster atmosphere is interrupted by a she-cat pastry owner called Matilda, who is in desperate need for help.
While weeping at the detectives' office, Matilda admits that a bulldog gangster called Sweet-Tooth Malone has ordered a cake at Matilda's shop - the pastry was supposed to be shaped as a heart and contain the engagement ring baked inside. An unknown perpetrator stole the cake, which brought Matilda a problem, since the customer is a gangster. Tom tries to cheer Matilda up with chocolates, she declines to accept the sweets. Jerry offers her tissues and she accepts them, which makes Tom jealous.
The detectives follow Matilda to her bake shop, where she presents them the issue. Sweeth-Tooth Malone has ordered a heart-shaped cake for his girlfriend with a ring baked inside. While showing the photograph of the missing cake and explaining the issue, Matilda gets broken again. This time Tom makes sure he gives Matilda a tissue. Matlida blows her nose directly at Tom. The animal detectives dress as Matilda's assistants before her customer arrives.
Shortly afterwards, Sweet-Tooth Malone comes to Matilda's shop, asking Tom & Jerry about the cake he ordered. After a brief gaze, he states that they remind him of the detectives he had issues with. Tom and Jerry respond with laughter, then Jerry's fake mustache suddenly fall off. Malone notices that, though Jerry manages to put his fake mustache back. Matilda grabs her helpers from behind, takes them from the table, and takes over the client. Malone asks about the cake he ordered and Matilda replies it shall be ready for the next day. The gangster states, that he shall wait, but consequences of failing is order won't be pleasant for Matilda.
The night falls and Matilda sets the freshly-baked cake (without the ring - as a decoy for the thief) at the stand. Before she leaves her shop, she instructs Tom and Jerry to guard the pastry in case of the thief, then she leaves. Jerry attempts to eat the cake, but gets stopped by Tom. The watch goes smoothly, until Jerry decides to eat sweets from the shop's stock. Tom spots his companion eating chocolate chip cookies while on duty. Another chase goes on, which ends up with Tom landing on cupcakes and doughnuts. The pet detectives are having a feast until they hear broken glass.

Tom and Jerry reach the place and spot Winston with the cake Malone ordered for his girlfriend. The fat cat refuses to hand over the stolen pastry and runs away - he tries to hide in his carrying shelter until he's forced to abandon it, then he keeps running. Tom manages to intercept the cake for a while. During a brief chase, Winston takes over the cake with Tuffy's help and devours it with the ring inside. Jerry uses a feather to retrieve the ring from Winston's stomach. With the piece of jewelry secured, the pet detectives need to prepare a replacement cake.

Trivia[]
- The episode's title is a possible reference to the 1998 film of the same name.
- Tom receives a fake love letter from Jerry, where "his secret admirer" calls him "QT". In the old-school American slang from 1950s, the abbreviation "QT" used to mean "quiet". Around 2000, the acronym began to be translated as "cute" or "cutie".
- Judging by the furniture inside Matilda's bake shop, she also serves tea and coffee in addition to the pastry she has in stock.
- Despite being modeled as a 1920s/1930s era gangster, Malone is dressed in plain suit jacket with brownish shirt. Actual mobsters from that era tended to dress in printed tuxedos.
- This is the only detective-themed episode where Tom chases Jerry (albeit rather briefly).
- Tom and Jerry's chef outfits at the end of the episode look just like Butch's from X Marks the Thumpin'.
- A countryballs video of the kildovian federation countryballs YouTuber uses the same title.
