Sylvester hearsTweety singing and looks through the window with his telescope in his apartment building next to Tweety's yard. Tweety sees him, grabs a towel, exclaims "I taw I taw apeeping tom cat!", and shuts the door after saying "That nasty oldpeeping tom cat!".
Sylvester seesSpike sleeping next to the pole that holds Tweety's birdhouse. He sneaks and climbs the pole. Spike awakens and pulls him down. Sylvester smiles and pushes Spike's straight face into a happy face, but Spike changes his face to furious and chases him back to his apartment.
Sylvester uses a grabber to grab Tweety. Tweety avoids it until Spike climbs up a ladder and uses the grabber to knock Sylvester repeatedly against the wall, while Tweety scolds Sylvester saying, "Bad Old Puddy Tat!".
Sylvester builds a robot dog, but it attacks him, so he destroys it with a baseball bat.
Sylvester makes asmoke bomb and dashes into the smoke-covered yard, bumping into Spike, who then pounds him before sending him out of the yard.
Sylvester uses apogo stick to approach Tweety's birdhouse, passing Spike and grabs Tweety. As he is about to pogo away, Spike opens amanhole. Sylvester falls in and he nicely makes Tweety escape but, Spike drops the lid with 4 holes on Sylvester's head.
Sylvester makes a storm cloud formula to prevent Spike from coming, but he trips, creating a storm in his room instead.
Sylvester makes himself invisible using vanishing cream, hits Spike with a brick and grabs Tweety. As Sylvester climbs down the pole, Tweety wonders why he is floating. Spike sprays Sylvester with green paint, forces him to give him Tweety and punches the cat out of the yard.
On the night, in a final attempt to get rid of Spike, Sylvester makes a bomb camera. Then, takes it and runs to Spike's yard. But it goes off too quick and explodes. Sylvester appears as a ghost with angel wings, rips up the blueprints saying "Hmph! It's a good thing pussycats have got nine lives". Sylvester leaves the building and presumed heads for heaven.
