What Is The Milky Waif About?
The premise of The Milky Waif without spoilers.
Jerry wakes to a knock; a walnut shell holds a baby mouse, Nibbles, who needs milk. The dish is near Tom, who sniffs Nibbles, but Jerry grabs him and they hide under milk. A chase follows—Tom swallows Nibbles through straw, traps Jerry in bottle, then spanks Nibbles. Jerry bursts free, grabs Tom’s tail and pummels him as Tom feeds Nibbles milk.
