Jerry and the Goldfish
0 views
Tom is listening to a radio chef’s recipe for fish stew when he realizes the key ingredient is right there in the home goldfish bowl. Jerry has been treating this fish as a pet, though, and won’t let Tom get away with his plan, saving the fish in a glass of water and a teacup, while Tom abandons his stew plans in favor of a frying pan, a grill, the toaster, and a pressure cooker.
★★★☆☆
Curator’s rating
Tom following a radio chef's recipe with the household goldfish as the main ingredient. Radio and television instructions driving Tom to disaster is a recurring device, and it works because it gives him a plan that is not his own fault — briefly making him the more sympathetic party.
