Torpedon't is the fourteenth episode of Tom and Jerry in New York.
Synopsis[]
Aquatic mayhem ensues at the park with Jerry, Tuffy and Quacker playing with their submarine, with it quickly turning into a war when Tom gets in the fun.
Plot[]
The episode begins at the park, when remote controlled toy boats are set on the pond's surface. Jerry and his best friend Tuffy are playing with a toy yacht Quacker the little duck is using as a mean of transport. Suddenly, a toy sailboat strikes the yacht the Quacker is using, which destroys the boat and spoils the duck and the mice fun. It turns out that Tom is controlling the sailboat and he has an apparent joy of harassing smaller animals. Apart from sinking the boat Quacker was playing with, Tom also picks on a randomly spotted frog.
Jerry and Tuffy find a submarine to tackle Tom's pond piracy. One projectile damages Tom's vessel, which infuriates the cat. The damaged yacht releases two torpedoes and turns into a missile oneself, locked on the submarine. The plan of torpedoing the mice fails, as the missiles hit one another when the submarine goes lower in the water.
The scenery changes near a bridge, when the mice are resting on a surface. Tom is hiding in a thicket with his new weapon - rafts filled with explosives. He sends three vessels of this type against Jerry and Tuffy. At first, the mice don't recognize the threat until they spot smoke cloud behind the sails. Having buttoned themselves up inside the submarine, the mice and the duck try to wait over Tom's explosive fleet, when the submarine red alert is set. The frog, which was previously harassed by Tom's sail boat, is watching the ongoing crisis and decides to make an intervention. The amphibian dives and spins the submarine, so the mice and duck are saved. Their vessel reaches Tom and moves him right into his explosive rafts.
The trap backfires, which causes Tom to run away from the park and never to be seen again in the episode. Jerry, Tuffy, Quacker and the frog celebrate victory and the episode ends.
