Panicking at this, he attempts to get rid of the gun, setting it off and creating a long scar on his head.

Just as he goes back to sleep, the mice lower the other end of the rope onto Tom's hand, which he takes notice.

Then Jerry opens a bottle of ketchup and pours some onto the end of the knife and then some onto Tom's chest.

As he does, he floats out of the bathroom and back in the living room where he notices the bottle of ketchup on the table.

As Jerry makes fun of Tom's predicament, Nipper notices a bow and arrow on the ground.

After Jerry signals Nipper to pull him back up, Tom wakes up and stretches, but this activates the bow.

If they remove the cork to get out, it will pull a string to which the other end is tied to the trigger of the gun, and they would be killed or injured by the gunshot.

Jerry and Nipper can only sit there and sulk furiously at their predicament while Tom, basking in unexpected victory, takes his peace and quiet nap, using his tail to cool himself off with a fan.
