Plot Summary
Tweety and Sylvester go head to head for another titanic battle, this time in the park. Sylvester sneaks up on Tweety while the latter is bathing in a bird bath and the chase is on, the canny canary enlisting the assistance of a stern nanny who wields a mean umbrella. Sylvester in turn abducts the nanny’s infant ward, disguises himself as a child and attempts to swallow our little yellow buddy. Needless to say, Sylvester gets the hiding of his life but never manages to get much further than getting Tweety in his mouth before someone or something comes along to foil his plans. The ever resourceful feline takes to the air with a bubblegum balloon, falls foul of a bulldog and disguises himself as a tree. But of course it’s to no avail and poor Sylvester remains hungry to the very end.
