Downbeat Bear - (6 min. 22 sec.) 1956

Jerry comes home and turns on the radio and the music disturbs Tom. The radio announces that a dancing bear has escaped from a circus. His capture will be amply rewarded! The bear arrives and does some dance steps. He steals some fruit and eats it and Tom, seeing this, tries to telephone the authorities, but Jerry turns on the music-playing radio again. The bear rushes over to Tom and leads him into a mad dance. Tom turns off the radio, but Jerry switches it on. The bear still wants to go on dancing with Tom. Tom cuts the radio wire with a pair of scissors. Jerry puts on a record player and the bear dances a passionate tango with Tom. Tom breaks the record over Jerry's head. The mouse dances on the piano and begins playing the guitar. The bear falls into the cellar and the radio announces that the reward has been doubled. The bear reappears and wants to dance with Tom, but gets cornered by the daybed. Tom, now outdoors, turns off the transistor radio and throws it away. The radio catches on a tree branch and begins to play six hours of uninterrupted music. The bear invites Tom to dance, and the cat agrees.
