Episode 1 of season 2 is titled Sleepy-Time Tom. The episode begins with Tom, the sleepy cat, trying to take a nap under a tree after a long night of chasing Jerry. However, the noisy birds and the bright sunlight keep disturbing his sleep. Finally, Tom snaps and decides to get rid of the noisy birds once and for all. He sets up a trap to catch the birds, but Jerry sees what Tom is doing and comes up with a plan to save the birds.
Jerry convinces the birds to play along with his plan, and they all pretend to be asleep when Tom comes back to check on his trap. Tom, believing that he has successfully caught the birds, takes them back to his house to get rid of them. However, when he tries to dispose of them, he finds out that they are not birds but pillows. Jerry and the real birds watch from afar as Tom becomes more and more confused.
After his failed attempt to catch the birds, Tom decides to take a nap again. This time, he puts on his sleeping hat and falls asleep instantly. Jerry sees this as an opportunity to play a trick on Tom. He sneaks up to Tom and switches his sleeping hat with a special hat he has prepared. The new hat has a hypnotizing effect that makes anyone who wears it fall into a deep sleep.
Tom starts having a strange and wonderful dream after putting on the new hat. In his dream, he becomes a famous musician and performs in front of a huge audience. He plays the drums, guitar, and sings beautifully. However, the dream takes a turn for the worse when Jerry appears in Tom's dream and starts playing pranks on him. The dream quickly turns into a nightmare as Jerry's pranks become more and more sinister.
Tom tries to wake up from his dream, but he can't seem to shake off the effects of the special hat. Jerry continues to torment him in his dreams, and Tom begins to panic. Just when it seems like Tom is doomed to remain stuck in his nightmare forever, Jerry comes to his rescue. He switches Tom's hat with his sleeping hat, and Tom wakes up from his dream in a daze.
In the end, Tom realizes that he should have just let the birds be and enjoys a deep sleep under the tree with the birds singing him lullabies. Sleepy-Time Tom is a funny and lighthearted episode of Tom and Jerry that showcases the classic duo's ability to make audiences laugh and smile.
