The game begins, and Jerry hits an ace on the first serve, making Tom nervous. Tom scores a point in the next serve, but Jerry quickly catches up, leaving Tom trailing behind. Jerry moves swiftly on the court, hitting the ball with precision, making it difficult for Tom to defend. Tom tries hard to catch up, but he just can't seem to get the ball over the net.
As the game progresses, Tom tries to cheat, hoping to win against Jerry. He replaces the tennis ball with a balloon, intending to pop it at the right time, tricking Jerry into believing that he scored. However, his plan fails miserably, as Jerry quickly sees through his trickery and scores a point. Tom resorts to other methods, like bribing the umpire to declare him the winner. However, these tactics do not work either, as the umpire is an honest one and refuses to oblige.

Jerry eventually wins the game, leaving Tom embarrassed and humiliated. As he celebrates his victory, Jerry extends an offer to teach Tom how to play. Tom jumps at the opportunity, as he realizes he cannot win by cheating. He realizes that he has to practice and improve his skills to beat Jerry.
Jerry teaches Tom how to play, and with practice, Tom begins to improve. However, Tom is still not on par with Jerry, and he loses another game. Jerry, impressed by Tom's improvement, offers to train him further. Together, they practice, and Tom improves, finally becoming a skilled tennis player.
