 Jerry removes a tack from Spike s paw. In gratitude, Spike gives Jerry a bell to ring when he s in trouble. Soon, Tom is acting as Jerry s servant.

Soon, Tom is taunting Spike (much like Foghorn Leghorn taunts the barnyard dog) and harassing Jerry, who becomes his servant until the leash law is repealed.
