Jerry narrates that he and Tom were best friends before Tom falls for a beautiful white cat who, at first, seems to return his feelings (though she is actually manipulating him to her whims) before leaving him for Butch (who, unlike in other cartoons, is extremely rich), revealing she is a gold digger, confirming Jerry's earlier suspicions.

As the flashback ends, Jerry kisses a picture of his girlfriend before she drives past, having married a rich mouse.

"[9] Video Movie Guide: 1995 called the short (in a review for the aforementioned Festival of Fun VHS) said "among the worst Tom & Jerry outings".

[10] The short is often considered the darkest Tom and Jerry cartoon due to its subject matter and unusually bleak ending.

[11][12][13] Additionally, it is often confused to be the final short of the series due to its ending implying the deaths of Tom and Jerry.
