Tom chases Jerry onto a dock, and as they soon both end up in a can factory, they end up being put into cans during the opening credits. As Jerry in his can rolls out of the way, Tom is carried out by the rolling fish cans and off the pier, until he glides through the air and stops as his tail, then his arm, and then his body register that gravity is imminent. Tom dangles in midair, has his face stretched, and finally falls into the sea.
