[edit] Plot
Tom is rowing amongst some docks under the crescent moon, singing the Neapolitan ballad "Santa Lucia" the whole way in an operatic baritone voice. As he reaches the docks, he finds Jerry mimicing him. Tom catches Jerry, but Jerry is soon pilfered by a scruffy orange cat. Tom traces the other cat to a cruise ship, where at one point the two cats mimic each other, seemingly in a mirror, Tom only catching on when he finds Jerry in the other cat's mouth. The second half of the cartoon involves all three trying to outsmart each other, with the two cats alternating in taking dives into the water amongst the docks. In the end, they break a bottle of champagne, which bathes Jerry and gets him incredibly drunk. In an uncharacteristic display of bravado, Jerry then ties the two cats by their whiskers and tails to a dock post, and drunkenly stumbles off with his freedom.
