Story
Tom is sitting on the beach, smeared with a bunch of creams, and sunbathing, covering himself with a towel and tilting his umbrella to create a shadow. Suddenly, next to Tom's resting place, Jerry passes with a fishing rod and bait (cheese). He walks straight across Tom and steps in the towel in his mouth. Jerry sits on the edge of the pier and lowers the bait. Meanwhile, Tom hung on the pole and eager for revenge, pulling the lowered fishing line, causing Jerry to think that the fish were biting. Jerry pulls the bait and discovers that he caught the hook Tom. The little mouse immediately lowers the line down, but Tom manages to climb it up. But now the line breaks, Tom almost falls down, but manages to grab onto the pier. Jerry swings his fishing rod, but he fails to hit Tom - he hides his head every time. Then Jerry whistles, Tom looks at the whistle from behind the edge of the pier to find out what's wrong ... and the mouse finally gets a fishing rod over the cat's head.
The chase is unleashed on the pier, which, however, quickly ends with the speeding Tom falling into the water from the board torn from Jerry Pier. Tom first floundering helplessly, but it turns out that he can live and breathe under water! Tom immediately begins to imitate the habits of the majestic inhabitants of the sea. But at one moment he sees, too, quite fit to breathe under the water of Jerry. Tom grabs a mouse, but he slips out of his hands easily, and it turns out that Jerry became a mermaid mouse (literally, with a tail!)! Jerry unfolds 360 degrees to Tom’s neck, swimming around the cat, and he grabs him again. But the mermaid mouse again gets out of Tom’s hands, splashes him across the face with his tail fins, and swims away. But then Tom overtook Jerry at high speed. They sail through the holds of an abandoned ship, but then Tom suddenly swallows Jerry. But, fortunately, for Jerry, he finds a way out, literally breaking through the inside of the cat's eardrum.
Jerry tries to hide in a flock of sea horses and fool Tom, and at first he succeeds. But Tom discovers Jerry and takes him prisoner with a lasso . But here, Jerry makes Tom pick up a wobbler hanging beside him, pulling on the line, and the deceived cat is pulled up, thinking that the fish are biting. Jerry instantly floats away from an angry Tom. Jerry hides in the hold of the sunken ship and closes the porthole right in front of the furious Tom. The anchor falls on the cat, and the cat crawls out of the pile of anchor rings, becoming like the African ring-noser. Jerry quietly escapes from the hold and suddenly runs into a swordfish . She almost pierces through Jerry. Jerry runs away from the swordfish, but here he faces another danger - Tom, standing at the ready with a shovel. Tom strikes too late, and instead of hitting Jerry, he breaks his nose with a swim-sword sword. Tom immediately corrects the error and straightens the nose with a shovel. But the swordfish is still unhappy and starts chasing Tom.
Tom hides in the barrel with a hole in the middle, Jerry specifically marks the hole with paint for the swordfish, calls it, and she rams the barrel. From the wreckage takes off with a cry of pain Tom, who swordfish pricked right in the ass. Tom swims up to the pole and evades the injection of a runaway swordfish. She sticks her nose in the post, and Tom bends his nose with a piece of pipe lying next to her. The cat erase sweat from his forehead with relief: the fish will not break out! But here he sees Jerry and recalls the pursuit. Jerry hides in a submariner's helmet next to a huge octopus , crouching and waiting for the victim. Tom discovers Jerry and grabs him, suddenly he sees an octopus and tries to run away, but too late: the octopus has taken him in his grip. Tom lets go of Jerry and tries to get out of the grasp, and then he tries to pull out the little mouse, in which he woke up pity and conscience. Suddenly it turns out that all this was a dream of Tom, who was pulled out of the water by Jerry and is now trying to pump water out of his lungs. Tom shakes hands with Jerry as a sign of friendship and the little mouse continues to do artificial respiration for Tom, removing the remaining water that the cat has swallowed.
