Mammy Two Shoes frustrated with Tom’s incompetence, tells Tom that she is replacing him with another cat. “Thomas, if you is a mouseketcher, I is Lana Turner, which I ain’t. The trouble with you is, you is gettin’ too old to catch mice. So, I has decided to bring in a new and younger cat. Stand up here and meet a real mouseketcher.” A bright orange cat, travelling at the speed of light more than lives up to his name as he rushes onto the scene and speedily disposes of Jerry. As Mammy retires to the bedroom, leaving Lightning in charge, the cat then begins to show his true colours by raiding the icebox, until he drops a bottle of milk. The guilty cat then frames Tom by dumping the icebox’s contents at Tom’s feet, stuffing leftovers into his hands and cramming Tom inside a watermelon. Lightning offers to throw Tom out of the house, and Tom is kicked into a dumpster, where he sees Jerry. Together, the duo plot to remove Lightning from the house. In the next scene, Tom and Jerry, armed with a magnet and iron, sneak into the house, and place the iron by a sleeping Lightning’s mouth, and the magnet behind his rear. This causes Lightning to swallow the iron, waking him up.
Tom kicks Lightning out of the house, but breaks his foot as he strikes the iron.As Lightning chases after Jerry, Tom uses the magnet to attract the iron, and therefore pull Lightning back. Chaos ensues as Tom and Jerry manoeuvre Lightning around the room with the magnet. When Jerry confronts Mammy and she screams, Lightning is unable to come to the rescue, as Tom is controlling his movements behind the kitchen wall. Eventually, Tom rushes onto the scene, grabs Jerry and pretends to have got rid of him.
In the final moments of the cartoon, Tom helpfully kicks Lightning out of the house, but ends up hurting his foot after striking the iron as he kicks him. Later, Tom, with his foot wrapped in bandages, is given a nice pie from Mammy as a token of her gratitude. Tom takes most of the pie, but leaves the remainder by his side for Jerry, who, using the magnet, brings the pie and dish to his hole, and gleefully tucks into his well-earned food.
