Tom and Jerry Cartoons under this category
The cartoon revolves around Tom’s attempts to serenade a female cat, which are thwarted both by Jerry (whose sleep is disturbed by Tom’s singing) and by “Killer” (later “Spike”) the bulldog.
Tom brings along his double bass (which he also uses as pogo stick) and, after tying up the bulldog, plays a serenade for his girl. As Jerry is woken up by Tom’s music, which bounces everything in his room, the mouse gets his revenge by hurling a pie with an iron stuffed inside, then another pie into Tom’s face.
So begins the chase. Tom ends up diving into a sink full of crockery, and manages to get his neck trapped in a window. Jerry unties the bulldog, but Tom eventually manages to knock the bulldog out cold. By the cartoon’s end, Tom is lured into the dog house and throttled, beaten and bruised (plus Tom writing a quick will), ending up tied to his bass by the whiskers and being strummed by the dog and plucked by Jerry.
