While Tom Cat is throwing darts at an apple on Jerry Mouse head à la Shooting an apple off one's child's head (he even throws one between his legs while blindfolded), a Telegraphy arrives. Though it is meant for Mammy Two Shoes, Tom reads it himself and discovers that he thinks he has been left a million dollars in a will from his owner's eccentric aunt, making him ecstatic. Jerry also reads the letter and gets ecstatic. Jerry points out that the will has a condition which would cause Tom to forfeit his newly acquired wealth if he harms any living animal, even a mouse.
