Buddies Thicker Than Water is a 1962 Tom and Jerry cartoon directed by Gene Deitch and produced by William L. Snyder.
Plot
On a snowy night, Jerry is comfortably asleep in his hole inside a penthouse apartment while Tom freezes in the alley below. Tom puts a note in a bottle and throws it up to the penthouse, waking Jerry and causing him to investigate. After reading the note ("Help! I'm freezing. Your old pal, Tom") and a follow-up that lands a moment later ("P.S. I'm also starving. Tom"), Jerry rushes down to save Tom and bring him inside. After retrieving Tom's frozen body, Jerry thaws him out and prepares a meal for him.
The two share drinks, but when the owner of the apartment returns, Tom betrays Jerry and throws him over the side of the penthouse. Tom then lounges in the apartment, but Jerry sneaks back inside and covers himself in powder to make himself look white like a ghost. He then puts on a record of spooky music, turns off the lights, and slowly pursues Tom throughout the apartment. Tom becomes so scared that he walks almost off the ledge of the penthouse. At this moment, he sees that the snow on the balcony has washed off the powder from Jerry's waist down, and prepares to strike back. However, he loses his balance and falls off the penthouse.
Tom, now back in the alley, throws another note up to the penthouse ("Help! It's freezing down here! Your old pal, Tom"). Jerry reads the note and responds by grabbing a pair of skates and a hockey stick and throwing it down to Tom. He then walks back inside.
Notes
- As was often the case in the William Hanna/Joseph Barbera era, the owner's face is not seen.
