classic

Spike the dog is giving his new son, Chip a bath. He leaves him alone to wash himself but Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse dirty him up while chasing each other. Spike gives Tom an ultimatum. His pup stays clean or else Tom will be killed by him. Of course Jerry sees this as a weakness on Tom's part and he exploits it to the fullest extent that his little mouse brain can conceive of, leading to a great many wild and memorable scenarios. No point in over-analyzing the short it's just great fun. This hilarious classic cartoon can be found on disc two of the Spotlight collection DVD of "Tom & Jerry"
