Tom sees that the local pet store is paying big money for white mice, so he pops a coat of paint on poor Jerry and collects his cash, which he stashes under a rug. Tom's owner finds the money and goes shopping, returning with an adorable white mouse (no prizes for guessing it's Jerry!) that she has bought from the pet shop.
The rest of the cartoon sees Tom trying to show his owner that Jerry is nothing more than a plain brown house mouse, but every time he gets rid of the rodent's white coating, Jerry finds another way of making himself white again. Don't expect much in the way of innovation—this is another fairly routine episode for Tom and Jerry—although there is one great gag that sees a shocked Tom's eyeballs leave their sockets, roll down his arms and back into his head.
