Tom and Jerry Cartoons under this category
On a farm, a momma duck goes out for a swim, leaving behind an egg in her nest. Tom craftily reaches into the nest and takes the egg for cooking. He rushes back to his kitchen and places a frying pan over the hob. However, when Tom breaks the egg open, instead of getting the albumen and yolk, he gets Quacker, a duckling. Not to be put off, Tom decides he will cook roast duck instead.
Tom feeds Quacker on plenty of bread to fatten and stuff him up, and while the duckling is not looking, Tom gets hold of a meat cleaver and attempts to chop Quacker up, but misses. Quacker escapes into Jerry’s mouse hole and into his bed. Jerry uncovers Quacker, who informs Jerry of what Tom has tried to do to him.
Jerry emerges from his mouse hole cautiously, but Tom cuts him down with his meat cleaver…almost. Quacker, believing that Jerry has been beheaded, pulls at Jerry’s legs, only for the camera to pull away, showing that Tom has only managed to catch Jerry by the whiskers. Jerry is set free and gets his revenge on Tom by placing Tom’s tail outside of the hole, such that Tom ends up chopping his own tail and screaming in pain.
The chase continues outside, where Tom’s efforts to chop away at Jerry and Quacker result in him being flattened by falling buildings or falling posts. Later on while Quacker & Jerry searches for his momma duck, Tom uses a duck call to lure Quacker, but Jerry is clued up to what Tom is doing, and substitutes his duck caller for a stick of dynamite which blows up in his face. Tom chases after Jerry and Quacker with a lawnmower, but ultimately ends up running over Quacker’s mother, revealing her undergarments.
Momma and baby are reunited, but Tom grabs Quacker off the momma duck & she grabs her baby back. After Quacker told his momma what had happened, she gets after Tom and in sarcasm quacks back at her. Then, the momma duck calls her husband (HENRY!), who’s big, strong and sports an anchor tattoo, chases after Tom and repeatedly runs the lawnmower up and down Tom’s back. The final scene has Momma Duck & Quacker swimming in the pond, with Momma duck towing Jerry on a little raft.
