It is the first entry in the original Tom and Jerry series of shorts in the 34 years since Purr-Chance to Dream in 1967 and the 162nd overall.

It is also the first short involving William Hanna and Joseph Barbera in the 43 years since Tot Watchers in 1958.

Of course, this means Tom will spend most of the cartoon chasing Jerry across the mansion, causing extensive damage.
