The Million Dollar Cat

The Million Dollar Cat (1944) is a seven-minute MGM cartoon available to watch online on iFILM. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera set Tom an impossible problem: he has just inherited a million dollars from an eccentric aunt, but the will contains one clause — he may not harm a single living creature. Including mice.

Jerry finds out at once. The rest of the short is Tom clenching every muscle while the mouse walks all over him, fully protected by inheritance law. A very good arrangement for Jerry; considerably less so for Tom. Watch The Million Dollar Cat (1944) online on iFILM.
