==Plot==
On a snowy night in ], ] is comfortably asleep in his hole inside a penthouse, while ] tries to keep from freezing to death below in the alley after getting evicted by his new lady owner. He writes a note, slips it into a bottle, and throws it up to hit the penthouse window. However, the bottle lands back down and covers Tom's head, so he blows it back up and this time it reaches the top floor with success. Jerry, awakened by the noise, goes out to the balcony and finds both this note and a second one sent up by Tom:

"Help! I'm freezing. Your old pal, Tom. P.S. I'm also starving. Tom."

Rushing to the alley, Jerry finds the frozen-solid Tom and drags him back upstairs on a trash can lid. He then sets Tom inside the hot-air vent, thaws him out with an electric blanket. Tom thanks Jerry by kissing him on the cheek. Jerry then provides him with an "Instant Gourmet" dehydrated meal.

Tom and Jerry lounge about the penthouse, listening to music and drinking everything in the owner's liquor cabinet. Her return startles the inebriated pair, and Jerry dives into his hole as she grabs Tom and prepares to throw him out again. Tom grabs Jerry and shows him to the owner, throwing her into a panic until he pitches the mouse off the balcony, betraying him. While Tom enjoys the owner's favor, Jerry angrily digs himself out of the snow and sneaks back in, using some of the owner's face powder to disguise himself as a ghost.

When Jerry puts an album of spooky music on the stereo and switches off the lights, Tom believes that the mouse's ghost has come to haunt him. He flees through the penthouse and out onto the balcony's edge, where the snow washes off part of Jerry's makeup and exposes the ruse. Tom prepares to strike back, but before he can do so, the snowdrift under his feet gives way and he falls down to the alley. He quickly writes a new note and throws it up to Jerry:

"Help! It's freezing down here! Your Old Pal, Tom."

Jerry responds by throwing a pair of ice skates and a hockey stick down to him, then goes back to his hole to finish sleeping.

==Censorship==
The scene showing Tom and Jerry drinking champagne is cut in the UK and Middle East.
