A Bird in a Guilty Cage

Sylvester enters Stacy's store and notices Tweety in the window. He whispers to the audience that they’ll play a game called Sandwich, with Tweety sandwiched between two slices of bread. Tweety protests, and Sylvester taunts him, saying it's a game he doesn't like.

Tweety darts away as Sylvester pursues through the store, knocking over merchandise in his wake. The chase weaves between aisles and displays, heightening the sense of danger for the small canary. Tweety stays just out of reach as the cat barrels forward.

Sylvester stacks mannequins on top of each other to reach the lighting where Tweety is hiding. The improvised ladder teeters, turning the display into a chaotic obstacle course. Tweety watches from above and taunts the pursuing cat.

Tweety climbs down and straps skates to the mannequin statue, using them to push the structure down the stairs toward Sylvester. The stack careens toward the cat, who scrambles to keep up with the ever-changing ground.

The chase shifts to a hat sale where Tweety hides atop a hat. Sylvester grabs nearby hats and attempts to smash Tweety, but his own attack backfires and he ends up smashing a hat onto himself. The moment is played for classic slapstick humor.

Tweety takes shelter inside a dollhouse. Sylvester reaches in and his finger comes away yellow with dye, leading him to mistake it for Tweety. He pulls a revolver, fires through the dollhouse, and inadvertently shoots his own finger.

Still determined, Sylvester grabs a hunting rifle and fires at Tweety as he flees. The blast punches holes in the floor and walls, escalating the chaos inside the store. Tweety continues to slip away through the cluttered aisles.

Tweety slips into a hole in the wall, and Sylvester shoves the rifle muzzle into the opening. To his surprise, the gun appears to emerge from a hole in the floor aiming back at him, creating a disorienting and comical reversal.

In a bid to deceive the weapon, Sylvester ties a red ribbon around the muzzle and slides it back into the wall hole. A yellow ribboned muzzle then appears from the floor, fooling him into thinking the threat is gone. He fires anyway, only to be struck by the unintended retaliatory shot.

Sylvester yanks the rifle from the wall to discover that the weapon with the yellow ribbon is the one he has. He staggers from the surprise, realizing the gimmick has turned against him. The store erupts in further chaos as Tweety remains elusive.

Tweety darts through the store’s pneumatic tubes, and Sylvester races to the other end to catch him. Tweety pops out of a different hole and plants a stick of dynamite in Sylvester's path, prompting the cat to swallow it in a desperate grab for Tweety. The dynamite explodes, leaving Sylvester blackened as the chaos finally winds down.

Still reeling from the blast, Sylvester mutters that birds should no longer be on his menu, noting that one of them upset his stomach. The chase ends on the punchline as the cat resolves to change his diet, a classic cartoon reset for the next gag.
