Tom winces a bit at the taste, and adds salt to improve it, both in the pot and on himself. Jerry lights a fire under the pot, while Tom takes a moment out of his cutting to sample the broth in the pot around him with a ladle. “Hold the onion”, adds Jerry, in the traditional cartoon gag.

Jerry decides to really lay it on heavy, by approaching a cannibal cooking pot, and scooping up charcoal from its base to blacken himself up into the disguise of a miniature native. Tom turns to see it, screams, and backs up into the points of three spears resting against a hut. Tom rears backwards, catching his tail in the mouth of a large witch doctor’s mask.

Has the cat got your tongue?” Webster embarrassedly looks off to one side, where an angel cat sits, holding just such a body part in its paw. When the man’s story is concluded, Daniel Webster stammers for something to say, unable to comprehend a thing. Among one of the events in the young man’s life is a period where, dejected at rejection by his lady fair, he retreats to a South Sea isle and becomes “a beachcomber” – borrowing the old sight gag from Terrytoons’ Robinson Crusoe’s Broadcast to have him literally using a hair comb to sift through the beach sand.
