Good to see that "Jerry" has found a good use for the mousetrap as he sits reading his book, then his life changes when a knock at the door introduces him to an orphan called "Nibbles". Judging by it's speed about the place, it could be related to "Speedy", but it needs milk. Who's got the milk? "Tom", of course - and he isn't in a sharing vein. The usual shenanigans now ensue as "Jerry" tries to purloin some food for a charge who seems quite happy to eat just about anything! I didn't enjoy this quite so much as it's more about the two mice exploring the dinner table rather than the usual antics between the cat and the mouse, but it livens up for the last minute or so as big chief "Tom" meets his match - double time.
