Story
Tom enjoys luxurious penthouse rooftop living. In the meantime, already below, Jerry feels a rumbling in his stomach and his tail is tied around him, but the tail is untied after he saw the breakfast box on the beam at the construction site. Jerry, without thinking twice, opens it and goes in there, eating its contents. Jerry rises up on the beam and the breakfast box falls, landing on Tom's head. When Tom sees that Jerry is falling, he takes a baseball glove with which he catches Jerry in bread for toasts and almost eats him. However, Jerry manages to run away in time from Tom, who accidentally hits himself with the middle finger in the eye and jumps into the drainpipe, where he then slides back and forth to the construction site, where he was almost crushed by a crusher, from which he immediately runs back to Tom all white but to his mouth, covering his mouth, ears and eyes. Tom has all these body parts automatically open, he removes Jerry through his right ear and grabs a fly swatter, which 4 times hits Jerry. Jerry angrily stops Tom and pounds him on the head and runs off to the end of the flagpole, which rotates counterclockwise. When Jerry unscrewed the flagpole, Tom falls down with a stick from the flagpole, and Jerry, already on the ball from the flagpole, rolls back to the roof of the penthouse. Tom falls on the wires and flies off to the barrel, on which he rolls around the construction site, until he reaches the exhibition of dogs that will then bite him. Jerry, left alone, takes possession of the deck chair Tom sat on at the beginning of the series, starts drinking juice with 3 straws, as a result of which he inadvertently swallows an ice cube and decides to take a nap.
