Tom knocks down some crockery while secretly tucking into some chicken. Mammy Two Shoes hears this so the cat plants the evidence on Jerry, effectively framing the mouse. Mammy then calls Tom and orders him to get rid of this 'chicken-stealing mouse'. Tom, acting like a 'hero' to the maid, chases Jerry out in the yard, looks around, throws the mouse away, eats the chicken and takes a nap. Jerry, thinking of a way to get back at Tom, sees Spike cuddling with his bone and also taking a nap. Jerry quietly takes the bone away from Spike and places it Tom's chest. Spike gets awakened after noticing his bone has disappeared and screams in the voice of a man to see Tom with his bone. The dog warns the cat to stay away from his bone angrily.
