Plot[]
The episode fades into Toodles' backyard where she was reading a magazine as Tom and Butch each take turns flicking pages for her. Then Toodles shows them a picture of three baby kittens but they both exchange looks and they also nodded to agree with her. As Tom and Toodles stare at each other, Butch hides behind a deck chair, sends Tom flying into the air and land in her swimming pool and gets closer to Toddles saying the more the merrier.
Tom gets out of the pool as Toodles tells him and Butch she's all out of ice cubes so they both fight over the bucket to get some more while crashing into objects. As Butch was about the enter Toodles' house, Tom was already inside there slamming the door wide open and taking the bucket with him to the kitchen where Butch slams the freezer door in his face and fills the bucket with ice cubes and hurries out of the house but Tom stops him with the same rake he walked into before. Butch lassos the garden hose wrapping up into a ball and swaps out the ice bucket with a flower pot but then Tom knocks him out with it and takes the bucket back again when Butch throws him in the barbecue, turns up the heat while taking the bucket with him as Tom comes out screaming with his tail on fire and retaliates by rolling few ice cubes and Butch ends up in the pool as Tom brings Toodles one ice cube which earning himself a kiss from her and gets a heartbeat. Then Toodles asks Tom to come over to her house at 8 o' clock tonight if he doesn’t have any plans which he accepts and also tells him to not be late so Tom leaves to get ready as Butch, still in the pool, scowling while watching him.
Few hours later, Tom wearing his bow tie, checking the time on his five watches and looks in the mirror and making himself neater when his hair pops up so he uses hair gel to rub it on until it becomes messier so he tries again and makes his hair stylist. Meanwhile in the living room, Rick munches popcorn while watching a horror movie on the couch as Jerry and Tuffy enters and hides under when they see Ginger coming in to tell Rick she's meeting her girlfriends for dinner and he tells her to have fun.
As Ginger comments on Rick watching movies and gives him blankets, Tuffy runs to get popcorn on the floor but Jerry drags him back so they don’t get spotted. Jerry and Tuffy share worried looks while watching the horror movie. Butch puts on lipstick holding a broken mirror, kisses a letter and writes 'TOM' on it. Tom sees the fake letter saying to meet Toodles in the basement for his surprise. When Tom gets there, he sees Butch waving at him and charges after him seeing he was tricked but Butch slams the door locking him inside with a key and runs off while Tom tries pulling a plunger off his face.
As Rick was asleep, Jerry and Tuffy continue watching the movie when they hear loud crashing noises coming from basement. Thinking it's a monster, Tuffy jumps in the popcorn bowl followed by Jerry after hearing the Doctor on TV said 'The Terror'. Tuffy screams but Jerry covers his mouth to calm him down. Butch was already outside Toodles' house playing a guitar, banging a paint bucket as a drum and sings a song getting her attention. Although Toodles was expecting Tom, Butch sets out a table trash can but she declines because sticking close to her phone in case he calls knowing he'll be here soon and shuts the door as Butch tries to follow her inside then he gets an idea. Back in the basement, Tom was still struggling to pull the plunger off his face as an imagery of Toodles reminds him to be there at 8 o' clock and not to be late before disappearing.
Tom finally pulls the plungers off but collapses onto wall paper which gets stuck to his chest and pulls it off removing his hair causing him to sream. Jerry and Tuffy heard the scream thinking it wasn't from the TV and after watching the movie, they starts to do what the characters are doing but then Tuffy falls to the floor. Butch was pretending to be on the phone to Tom saying he's at a card game tonight as Toodles hears him and believes everything he said. So Toddles asked Butch what he's doing tonight and invites him into her house after he checks his schedule. Toodles introudces Butch to her baby sisters and litte brothers which he finds them a pericous little angels. She then asked if Butch can watch them while she takes her mother out knowing how much he likes kids, kisses him and shuts the door. The three kittens and Butch patty-cake when one of the them slaps him and as he was talking the two kittens and one sets his foot on fire. Butch smells and jumps in pain while shaking matches off his foot then the kitten brother points to the tank and Butch puts his foot but gets bitten by a sea turtle.
Tom climbs through the airvent and gets out as Jerry and Tuffy hear thud noises thinking it's a monster and blasts him with water. Tom falls back to the basement on a trampolines hitting the shelves. Butch was scolding at the kittens and they nod with boo-hoo eyes so he forgives them if they put in a good word for their sister. So Butch reads the kittens a story but he just skips the words and read the pictures instead. Suddenly, The kitten brother sets TNT in the book which explodes and his head was gone.
Back in the kitchen, Jerry and Tuffy listen against the door thinking the monster is sleeping and Tom on the other side holds up a hammer but he loses his balance, falls down again and gets in christmas decroations as the mice thinks he's a awake now.

Trivia[]
- The way the Three kittens treat Butch is similar to how Fluff, Muff and Puff treat Tom (and Jerry) in Triplet Trouble.
- Matter in fact the Kittens are identical to Fluff, Muff and Puff, except they're two girls and a boy, while Fluff, Muff and Puff are both boys.
- Butch called Toodles "Toots" a few times in this cartoon, which Butch is technically correct because the character is actually Toots, not Toodles. The actual Toodles Galore is a taller and more voluptuous female white cat wearing a dark blue or light purple ribbon around her neck with a bow on the back, but she's called "Toots" in Tom and Jerry in New York.
- For some reason, their names are mixed-up.
- Toots' mother looks like Toots except that she's taller, she has different design in the second season starting with Here Comes the Bribe.
