Tom & Jerry Comics #130

Tom takes a night watchman job at a toy store, earning a dollar per mouse caught—easy money, until a one-gross carton of toy dancing mice arrives, sparking chaos. With live mice dancing through the aisles and Jerry and Tuffy turning the night into a whirlwind of mischief, Tom’s quiet shift quickly spirals into a madcap chase.

When Spike and Tyke’s mistress plants a pussy willow in the backyard, Tyke grows anxious—convinced the tree will sprout a mess of cats. Prankster Hogan, spotting an opportunity, plants a litter of kittens right at the base of the tree, hoping to trick Spike and Tyke into taking them in.

When Fuzzy and Wuzzy notice their favorite tree shedding leaves for no clear reason, they enlist Uncle Barney to call a tree surgeon—only for Barney to insist he can handle it himself and save a few bucks. What starts as a simple fix quickly spirals into a chaotic chain of misadventures as the bear attempts to diagnose and treat the tree, dragging in a nervous dog, a medical doctor, an electrician, a carpenter, and a plumber—all with their own ideas on how to save the leafy landmark.

When the local zoo offers fifty dollars for a gray timber wolf, Charlie Coyote sets out to cash in—only to be swindled by Wuff the Prairie Dog and Sammy Squirrel, who insist the creature they’ve caught is actually a brown, useless wolf. With Archie Armadillo watching from the trading post, the trio’s scheme begins to unravel as the real prize slips through their paws.
