Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCareful attention to background detail is the hallmark of cartoons made in this era. Furniture legs, table lamps, a desk blotter, even the colorful test tubes and so much more. That's because a cartoon like this would be shown at the cinema, along with a newsreel and the feature. Adult audiences would have appreciated the realistic rendition.
- GoofsJerry sets Tom's left foot on fire, but Tom puts his right foot into the fishbowl to dowse the flame.
- Crazy creditsAfter Jerry hit Spike with a golf club, while Spike was taking a nap, and framing Tom, Jerry then threw the golf club to Tom's paws, as Spike comes up, he sees Tom with the golf club, hitting Tom through-out the conclusion. Then, inside the house, Jerry drinks chocolate milk, as he drinks it he re-appears and can be seen again, his ears make a popping sound, as they appear, completing Jerry Mouse's body re-appearing. Jerry Mouse's body re-appears, lowest from the soles of his feet to the ears on top of his head. Then the closing credits start.

Shadowing an Invisible Mouse
This is a somewhat self-referentially clever Tom and Jerry cartoon short in that the mouse becomes transparent via invisible ink. Apt for a drawn film. That the mouse has a shadow, however, doesn't make sense in respect to his impenetrability to light, I would think, although I guess it does follow the logic of how one would see invisible ink. And I'll just accept that he returns to visibility by drinking chocolate milk. Otherwise, this brief animated knockabout features the usual cartoon violence and cat-and-mouse chase. The cat employs flour to track the invisible mouse's footsteps at one point, too, which is reminiscent of the tricks the police used in Universal's prior "Invisible Man" series and in the book by H.G. Wells.
