Plot
Jerry receives a telegram from his Uncle Pecos who plans to stay with Jerry while he is recording a television appearance. The moustachioed mouse gives Jerry an impromptu performance on guitar, but midway through the session, his guitar string breaks. The old mouse finds that Tom's whiskers make the perfect replacement for his broken guitar strings and pulls one off the cat. Playing his guitar again, another string breaks, and Pecos seeks another string - from Tom once more. By the end of the cartoon, Tom only has one of his whiskers remaining and is absolutely determined to protect it. Fortunately, Pecos has to leave for his television performance, which Tom and Jerry watch in their living room. Unfortunately, while playing on air, Pecos' guitar string snaps once again, and a laughing Tom ends up aghast when Pecos reaches right out of the television set and pulls out Tom's only remaining whisker (much to Tom's dismay), finishing his live performance.
