Using soot from a cooking pot Jerry disguises himself as a black native complete with a deep voice and talks gibberish to Tom. He presumably tells Tom he has to be cooked to death and orders him "up in pot". Then he gives him vegetables to cut but to "hold the onions". Tom, accepting his fate, cooperates, and he soon feels the heat after Jerry lights a fire underneath the pot. Tom, however, then notices Jerry's loincloth has come loose exposing his brown fur. Discovering he has been played for a sap the cat taunts Jerry, who uses a bone tied to his head to fly away. Tom gives chase, but soon ends up stopping at the feet of a group of real cannibals, with their leader licking his lips delightfully and fancying barbecued cat. Tom runs away in horror with the cannibals in hot pursuit. Jerry believes himself safe now but is immediately confronted by a shorter and thicker-lipped cannibal who also licks his lips in delight, fancying barbecued mouse. The terrified Jerry runs off with the cannibal in pursuit as the cartoon ends.
