Uncle Pecos, Jerry's uncle from Texas, arrives at his nephew's house with his guitar. He is soon scheduled to make his debut on television, so he rehearses before his show. He sings "Froggie Went A-Courtin'." When one of his guitar strings breaks, he pulls out one of Tom's whiskers, and then a second one. Tom is furious and Jerry and his uncle take to their heels. But nothing stops his uncle, who pulls out still another whisker. Tom dons the helmet of a suit of armor, but Uncle Pecos manages to tear out another whisker. Tom, who is attacked with an ax by the uncle, resolves to give him one of his whiskers. Tom and Jerry watch the rebroadcast of Uncle Pecos's number. He breaks one of his guitar strings as he plays. Tom begins laughing, but Uncle Pecos stretches his paw out of the television set and yanks another whisker out of the hypnotized Tom.
