Trivia
Absolutely gorgeous attention to background detail in this short, right down to the chain link fence close up in the intro. This was a common feature in cartoons of the pre-television era, when shorts were shown in cinemas along with a feature film.

Goofs
Tom, Jerry and the dog sometimes don't cast any shadows on the ground.

Connections
Edited into Life with Tom (1953)

Go fish!

Tom sneaks into a secluded area for some fish poaching. The lake is guarded by Spike, but Tom has his same old tricks for taking care of him. In his bait box he has a captured Jerry, who he promptly disguises as a worm and casts into the lake.

Some horrible sort of Gator/Fish creature pops up and decides he'd really like to get a bite of Jerry, but he'll be damned if he's gonna let Tom catch him.

There are a couple of funny moments in this cartoon but it's mostly just generic stuff and recycled gags. The ending isn't really up to much either, it's all just plain uninspired.
