Tom and Cherie

In the opening shot, Jerry is looking at a portrait of a very pretty french mouse named Lilli. He then writes Lilli a love letter and calls his assistant, Tuffy, and tells him to deliver it. Tuffy goes out, looks at the letter and goes a deep shade of red after looking at it. But, when Nibbles is about to go out and deliver the letter, Tom appears saying 'En garde!' and swipes his sword at him, scaring him back in. He pokes his sword through the door. Tuffy tries to tell Jerry about the cardinal's cat, but Jerry shows the little mouse his book, persuading him that a mouseketeer is brave. Tuffy then looks in the mirror and asks himself if he is a man or a mouse. But after going out and encountering Tom again, he decides he is a mouse. Later, Tom is hiding in wait for Tuffy. Nibbles tries to disguise himself with a knight's helmet. He says hello to Tom, but he is not fooled. He immediately jumps in front of Tuffy and fights him. Jerry hears the commotion from outside. Tom then lifts off the helmet and it falls right on top of his head, knocking him into a nearby window and giving Tom his first loss to Tuffy. Tuffy is still swiping his sword, not knowing he had defeated Tom until Jerry pokes him on the back. Tuffy tries to call for the cat by saying "pussy" many times but to no avail. He tries to persuade Jerry that Tom was here, but Jerry brings him back to his mouse-hole and makes Tuffy write 'Un mouseketeer est brave' about 100 times on a blackboard. Then Tuffy goes to the door and holds his hat out. It gets chopped into pieces by Tom. Tuffy then nervously peeks out, but Jerry pokes him on the back with his sword, sending Tuffy rocketing past Tom to Lilli's house. He knocks on the windowsill, and after Lilli comes to the window, she sees the love letter. She giggles at the sight, then disappears and returns with another letter with perfume on it. Tuffy then goes to deliver it to Jerry. But to see if Tom is around, he puts his hat on his sword and waves it. Tom waves his hat and then appears and fights Tuffy again. Then Tuffy hides in a vent and pokes Tom in the bottom saying 'Touch�, pussycat!', earning Tuffy his second victory over Tom. Tuffy runs inside Jerry's mouse-hole and gives the letter to Jerry. He kisses it and writes another love letter before giving it to Tuffy and then the little mouse delivers it, encountering Tom every time. And by every fight Tuffy haves with Tom, he gets more tattered and torn by the minute. Eventually, Jerry receives a letter from Lilli, telling him that their love is finished, much to Tuffy's delight as he thinks he wouldn't deliver letters anymore. Heartbroken, Jerry tears up the letter and throws away her portrait. But all is not lost, as he simply replaces her portrait with that of another beautiful, rich, French mouse who is named Marie and begins his correspondence with this one. A battered and exasperated Tuffy is forced to deliver this letter. Tom jumps out once again, yells "En garde!" and is ready for another duel. But the little mouse just walks past him. Tom then challenges him two more times. Despite that, Tuffy keeps ignoring him. After the third and final attempt, Tuffy, lethargic and getting frustrated by Tom, looks up at him and says with contempt, "En garde, en garde, en garde! Foo!" before resuming his assignment to deliver the letter, leaving the puzzled cat behind still holding his sword in his hand.
