Jerry receives a telegram from his List of Tom and Jerry characters#Uncle Pecos, saying he is on his way to the big city from Texas for a guitar solo and will be staying with his nephew for the night; Pecos then arrives shortly after. The mustached mouse (who stutters in a fashion similar to Porky Pig) gives Jerry a performance on his guitar, playing his new song, "Crambone" (his version of the song "Frog Went A-Courting"), which he gets through most of until he breaks a guitar string toward the end.
