Hildie is mixing a batch of foot balm that'll soften and beautify her gnarly-looking feet. She has Tom rub it in, nice and good, "Between the toes, Thomas." Unfortunately, the foot balm is a little too strong and makes her foot disappear. Hildie's recipe gives Tom a good idea: he'll use it to vanish into thin air. Jerry literally doesn't know what hit him when the invisible cat bats him around like a ball of yarn. Tom is unaware when the effects begin to wear off and Jerry is able to defend himself. When Jerry gets a hold of the cream it's his turn to have the upper hand. A battle of the vanishing cream ensues, each using it in various ways to outwit the other.
