- Jerry is chased into a circus, where he removes a tack from the foot of an elephant. This gets him a friend for life, and a powerful ally in the continuing battles with Tom, not that it stops Tom from trying, even when Jerry becomes part of the act.—Jon Reeves <jreeves@imdb.com>
- Tom chases Jerry through the street as the title cards are shown (throughout the title cards, classic circus music is heard). Jerry gives him the slip and Tom turns around the other way in anger. He stops shortly when he sees a lion's mouth, only to find that it's only an ad for a local, yet special and great, circus. Jerry jumps through the lion's mouth as Tom rips the ad to reveal a hole.
Tom follows Jerry into the circus. He hides behind a post as Tom dashes by him. Jerry laughs and walks away when he is splashed with a tear from a female elephant, who is crying because her foot has a tack underneath it. Jerry jumps up the post and pulls out the tack. However, the elephant hangs back, afraid of Jerry (because he's a mouse and some elephants are afraid of mice). When Tom approaches her and the elephant picks him up with her trunk and hits him on the stand. Jerry watches him leave dizzy and re-emerges from his hiding place. He doesn't give up as he shows her the tack he pulled out of her foot. The elephant stops panicing, looks at her foot, and smiles. She hugs him in gratitude and gets over her fear of mice.
An irate, Tom pulls up a ladder and swipes the mouse from her trunk. However, he meets the elephant's anger, who snatches Jerry fom his hand and places him on top of her head. She punches him and the ladder into the ground with her trunk. Then she returns to hugging the mouse. Tom emerges from the ground, dazed, and then falls unconscious.
Act 1: When it's time for the first act, Tom is sitting behind the stool, annoyed until he spots Jerry who is dressed up as a clown, running behind the other clowns. He was watching the elephant and him participating and doing a great show in the circus. Jerry and the elephant dance in the spotlight for a little while and after that, a ball comes by and the elephant gets it on her trunk. She passes the ball to Jerry. They pass the ball to each other back and forth as Tom watches annoyed. The cat decides to do something about the ball and aims a slingshot with a rock at the ball and pops it. This attempt causes the elephant to cry as she looks for her friend in sadness to see if he is alive and not dead and Tom ascends a high-rise ladder to reach the mouse, who is hanging onto a 300-foot high wire by his feet. He slicks across the wire and stomps on it repeatedly to bounce Jerry into his hands. He then walks over the wire and encounters the irate elephant. She pulls both of them all the way down to the ground with the high wire, pulls the mouse into her trunk via suction, then she lifts her foot up and sends the cat up, up, up, up, out of the tent.
Act 2: When the next act comes, Tom chases Jerry outside and onto a ladder that leads to a diving board. He sees a steal bucket of water 200 feet down and holds back until Tom approaches and he couldn't see a single alternative. Even though Jerry's scared of water, he dives in first to escape with the cat slowly following him. The elephant drinks the water as fast as she can and retrieves him. She smiles, kisses Jerry and leaves with him, as Tom has fallen through the bucket into Hell. Then, the irate devil heads up to the Earth and tosses him out with his spear before heading back down.
Act 3: The elephant is playing with Jerry, throwing him up into the air and then sucking him back to her trunk. Tom's head sticks out and he sneaks over to the elephant. He gets out a pepper shaker and shakes some into the elephant's trunk. She lets out a very humongous sneeze in which blows up the circus and throws Jerry from the circus. Tom runs backwards with a baseball glove to catch the mouse, but somehow the elephant has appeared. He runs up her legs and perches himself to catch the mouse, but she rolls up her trunk and blows him away. She then catches the glove and also catches Jerry, and proceeds to hug the mouse again.
Act 4: For the grand finale, Jerry and the elephant are now leading a circus parade, with Jerry playing the bugle and the elephant playing a very loud drum which causes the cymbals to rise and then crash together. Tom is in a manhole looking to make mayhem of the parade. He has connected some dynamite to a detonator and is looking to blow up the elephant when she steps on the switch. The sheer gravity of the sound, however, pushes the dynamite into his manhole without him seeing it. Therefore, it blows up Tom instead when the elephant steps on the detonator. He pulls up a surrender flag as she wipes the dirt on it with her back feet. "The End."
