Tom makes his entrance from the left side of the stage dressed in a white tie and tails. He takes his seat at the piano, gathers his concentration as the orchestra warms up in the pit below him, and then begins to perform "Hungarian Rhapsody" by Liszt. Jerry has fallen asleep over a number of the high-note keys within the instrument, which Tom and the audience are unaware of. As a result, Tom's playing will eventually rouse Jerry up. As Tom attempts to play the concerto while simultaneously getting rid of Jerry, Jerry takes a beating from the hammers, is tossed around by the cables, and is pinched by Tom. Jerry's defensive antics add to the brio of the program and provide an answer to Tom with Jerry's own skilful musical assault. At the conclusion of the concerto, the pair leaves only one animal standing to receive the appreciation of the audience.
