Overview

As Tom and Jerry stage their typical fight sequences, the patriotic soldier theme of the title is evidenced by such things as a carton of eggs labeled "Hen Grenades"; Jerry dropping light bulbs from an airplane like bombs; and Jerry sending a telegram with the message "Sighted Cat - Sank Same." Musical phrasings from various patriotic war songs are heard throughout.

I must admit to feeling just a little more sorry for “Tom” than usual here as he is constantly being bested by “Jerry” in this wartime-themed comedy. The mouse lives in his cellar, under siege from “Tom” and his fairly hefty supply of dynamite. As ever, though, no matter how superior the armoury against him is, “Jerry” still manages to make sure it explodes in his nemesis’s lap, or under his tail, or between his ears - or even thrusting the poor moggy up into space. It’s end to end stuff with rapid-fire antics from start to finish as the two engage in a battle of wits with flour, some “hen grenades” and even a banana thrown in too. All the while, we have some jolly tunes to remind the audience of the underpinning patriotism and it’s full steam ahead.
