Tom boots Jerry and Tuffy out of the house, then reads a newspaper saying: "Anyone found being unkind to birds will be prosecuted. Feed and protect our feathered friends." In a novelty store window, the mice see an interesting toy. "Pecking Pete. He walks and pecks holes just like a real live woodpecker!" With the knowledge from the newspaper, and with this moving toy woodpecker (which is large enough for Tuffy to fit into and control from the inside), the pair trick Tom into believing that the bird has the power of telekinesis - ultimately getting their home back, and lots of food to boot.
