Spoilers ahead
Sylvester, voiced by Mel Blanc, sleeps downstairs as the clockwork rhythm of a lighthouse ticks into the night on a small island. The pendulum’s rhythm nudges the beacon’s light into a mouse-hole downstairs, leaving the resident mouse wide awake. The daredevil rodent creeps out of bed, climbs the stairs to the beacon, and yanks the plug out of the outlet to turn the light off. Polly the parrot dives into the light-keeper’s bedroom, squawking “Light’s out! ” and setting off a chain of comic mishaps. The light-keeper wakes with a growl, exclaiming, “Grrrreat Scott! ” and the two adults soon discover a cargo carrier named Australia has crashed into the rocks, dumping several wooden crates overboard.
