The chef is singing and cooking steaks. He puts coal and puts gas on the grill. Tom couldn't wait to eat steaks. Jerry notices what the chef is cooking but he forgot his hat. He wears his hat and starts running to what the chef is cooking but Tom blocks him with a fork and sends him down where he came before. This makes Jerry furious and grabs a fork, only to sting Tom's rear end. This made Tom furious and starts a duel with Jerry until he stungs the chef's rear end with the fork by accident. This makes the chef very angry and flames Tom and continues cooking the fish. Tom looks at the camera for a few seconds. Jerry hides under a badmint so Tom wouldn't catch him. But Tom blocked his way, holding a badmint racket, grabbing him and smack him in right at the net then in front of the chef's mouth! This made the chef angry again and hits Tom's head with the badmint racket. Jerry grabs a Kooky Kola and shakes it. He grabs a tool and starts jumping on it. Tom notices this and it made him furious. But when he tries to grab Jerry, he ducks under so he wouldn't get soaked with Kooky Kola but it went at the chef's steak. This made the chef mad and starts shaking Kooky Kola and it blew inside Tom. Tom swallows it, only to make him look like the Kooky Kola glass. Jerry laughs at him, but Tom chases after him, until he approaches the grill. Tom sniffs the steaks and grabs a chair, a hat and a fork. Jerry lifts Tom's tail into the grill with a fork, causing Tom's tail to be on fire. He runs all over the place and ruins the chef's dinner, only to make him cry like a baby. The runaway continues until Tom lands into a pool. He survived until the grill pulled him down. Once again, the chef is mad and starts beating up Tom while Jerry covers his face with a hat. The chef ties Tom onto a wheel chair and Jerry pulls him out to the road, attaching it to a man's car. The chef cooks it again and Jerry starts eating a steak.
