A predatory cat and the mouse he's chasing become temporary friends after the mouse takes refuge in a barrel full of pickled herrings and the cat becomes intoxicated by the fumes.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mel Blanc's scream is recycled archive footage—he was already Warner Bros.' most overworked voice by 1948.
Howard Swift directed for Columbia's Screen Gems, not Warner Bros., making this a rare non-Tom & Jerry cat/mouse rivalry from the golden age.
