It's the 4th of July and Nibbles wants to have fun with fireworks but Jerry makes him follow safe and sane. Tom puts a dynamite under Jerry and starts chasing him. Nibbles had seen Tom chasing Jerry and immediately saves the mouse. Tom tries to use gun powder but Jerry kicks some and lets a match on fire and the it goes straight to the gun powder can. Tom chases Jerry but both mice used a weapon to shoot colorful fireballs. Tom runs away and sneaks behind but get's blown in the sky, getting exploded by fireworks. Nibbles plays with one more dynamite and hides it into Jerry's blower. Jerry blows it and exploded leaving into blackface in a sunflower appearance (like Tom in The Yankee Doodle Mouse) and Nibbles blows the blower and twirls the thing.
