Tom the cat has been shanghaied aboard a whaling vessel manned only by a violently insane one-legged captain obsessed with finding Dicky Moe, the elusive Great Whale. Jerry stows away on board the ship, and soon out to get Tom in as much trouble as he possibly can. Will Tom make it back to dry land, or will he end up as whale bait?

| Trivia | Czech born composer Stepán Konícek uses some nice instrumental solos here, including guitar and harpsichord, to set the tone. A few years later, The Addams Family (1964) would feature Lurch the butler playing the harpsichord quite regularly. See more » |
