Tom Cat is sleeping near the fireplace, and Jerry Mouse carefully sneaks past him. He goes up onto the dinner table and tries to reach for the food, but Tom attempts to slice him with a knife and he retreats, running up the staircase. Tom pulls the carpet off the staircase to catch Jerry, but also pulls down a large Piano. While Jerry gets out of the piano's path, the piano crushes Tom to death. Tom's spirit ascends to the "Heavenly Express", a steam train that sends dead cats to Heaven.
