Then the two Mouseketeers continue their victorious marching off into the distance, knowing they are knights in shining armor. Both mice gulp, and Nibbles sighs, ' Pauvre, pauvre, Pussycat' ( Poor, poor pussycat ) and shrugs while adding ' C'est la guerre' ( That’s war ). Suddenly, in an unusual morbid ending, they see in a distance the guillotine, and with a drum roll, the blade comes down, strongly suggesting that Tom was executed ( although off-screen in order to comply with the Hays Code ). Once the cannon is full, he lights the cannon, and it explodes violently, which both shoots Tom and wreaks havoc on the banquet room thus causing Tom to fail in his duties.Īs the smoke disappears, Jerry and Nibbles are walking triumphantly down the street with stolen banquet food. While this goes on, Nibbles brings along a cannon and stuffs it with all of the food that is on the banquet table. Jerry makes the save by hitting Tom on the head with a mace so much that Tom falls through the table, which leads to Tom and Jerry having a sword fight. Nibbles waves his sword while saying, ' Touche, Pussycat!' but as he runs away, Tom catches him. Nibbles walks out of the drink, drunk, and pokes Tom in the bottom. Nibbles runs away and falls into a drink - but Jerry saves him by hurling a tomato at Tom, as well as multiple vegetables, which Tom impales on his rapier before heating them up and eats them like a shish-kebab.

Nibbles pushes a knight axe toward Tom and it slices off half of Tom's back, and Nibbles hides in some fruit. Jerry puts custard in Tom's face, launching a swashbuckling fencing display against Tom, ending in Tom catching Jerry.

Jerry manages to stab Tom in the rear-end and rescue Nibbles. Before Nibbles can get away, Tom impales the little mouse's cape with his rapier. Pussy Cat!? Help! Help! The pussycat! The pussycat! ). The little mouse yells angrily in protest: ' He, attention-la! Vous pourez faire mal a quelqu'un, Monsieur Pussycat!.Pussycat?! Au secours! Au secours! Le pussycat! Le pussycat!' ( Hey! Watch it! You could hurt someone like that, Mister Pussycat. Later, Nibbles is helping himself to some of the food while singing Alouette to himself, when Tom emerges behind him and pokes him with his sword. They unsuspectingly catch Tom's attention by showering him with champagne.

Jerry and Nibbles enter the castle hall through a stained glass window, through a suit of knight Armour, and by parachuting down to the table. But should he fail in doing so, Tom will be executed by the guillotine. Jerry and his sidekick Nibbles are the two mouseketeers who decide to help themselves to a lavish banquet, which Tom has been ordered to guard by Captain Rochefort and Sir Girard.

The cartoon opens with the male chorus singing ' Soldiers of Fortune' throughout the credits.
