Plot[]
In the African safari, Tom is reading a book "Big Cats of Africa", while his owner is admiring the local wildlife from a jeep. When asked, if Africa isn't exciting, Tom yawns. The approach changes, when Tom meets his feline cousins, the wild lions. Unfortunately for him, the lions decided to make a meal out of him .but mostly him because he's much bigger than Jerry and makes a much better meal. Tom and Jerry run away into a hut and lock the door with the lionesses inside.
The lion and the lioness trick them by announcing a birthday party (which it's probably really neither Tom or even Jerry's birthday), which it's really a trap to fattened them up and slowing them down before they eventfully going eat Tom. but Jerry and Tom manage to escape and also somehow lose all of the extra weight they've gained from the treats they ate at the ruse birthday party as well.
The animals run at the rhinoceroses, where their appearance causes the rhinos to panic. A nearsighted female rhino screams about her baby rhino's horn, claiming that someone has stolen her baby rhino's horn after mistaking Tom with his party hat on his bottom for a baby rhino because of her poor eyesight. Thinking poachers took it, the rhinos run , causing Tom and Jerry to flee and hop on the jeep. The lion along with the lionesses also jump on the jeep before Jerry and Tom did to escape from the rhino riot, Mrs. Two Shoes says "This was a little too close for my taste", the lion would agree, Mrs. Two Shoes hearing the lion made her scream as the lion says "What I say?" as she screams again.

Errors[]
- There are three lionesses belonging the male lion's pride. When Tom and Jerry barricaded themselves in a hut with many locks and turned out the lionesses are also in the hut as well, there are seven lionesses who about to eat them. Also in the scene, where they along Tom, Jerry and their male leader headed to Mrs. Two Shoes' jeep to escape from the rhino riot, there are only two lionesses, instead of all three (or seven).
Trivia[]
- The Lion and his lioness cohorts want to eat their domestic "cousin", Tom in this cartoon. In real life, lions don't often eat other felines unless if they're extremely hungry and without any other alternatives to eat.
- The lion's design in this episode is based on the one from Jerry and the Lion (1950).
- This is one of the episodes where Jerry saves Tom.
