Overview


Monster Con is the second segment of the 18th episode of Season 2 of Tom and Jerry Tales, which originally premiered on October 27th, 2007. It is the fifty-third episode overall in the series.

Synopsis[]

Tom uses some of Abraham Van Helsing's equipment to catch Jerry, but catches a few ghosts instead.

Plot[]

In Transylvania, Van Helsing and Tom arrive at the Monster Convention to hunt down monsters. Shortly after coming in, Tom meets Jerry, causing Tom to get distracted while setting Van Helsing's trunk of weapons down. He uses one of Van Helsing's weapons to try to capture Jerry, but misses a few times. Along the way while Tom chases Jerry, Jerry meets a werewolf, who saves Jerry from Tom's attack, and befriends him.

Meanwhile, Tom uses a ghost vacuum from Van Helsing's trunk and tries to find Jerry so he could capture him. As he looks for Jerry, he finds plenty of ghosts, who are playing games together. He vacuums them all and focuses back on his search for Jerry. Suddenly, he finds Jerry inside of a rook chess piece, but Jerry escapes and flees from Tom.

As the chase continues, Jerry runs into the werewolf's doghouse for safety. Tom enters the doghouse to find Jerry, but Jerry escapes again without Tom knowing and tells the werewolf to attack Tom. The werewolf finds Tom digging through his dog house and bites him. Tom chases Jerry once more until finally he captures Jerry. However, due to the werewolf attack, Tom transforms into a werecat.

Before Tom was about to capture Jerry again, Van Helsing arrives and finds Tom transformed. Turning on him, he tries to capture Tom, but Tom tries to flee from Van Helsing by driving the Frankenstein's car. As the episode ends, Jerry and the werewolf become friends as they watch Tom driving away while Van Helsing is latched onto the back of the car, chasing after him.
