Later on, the teacher mouse announces that they will have a science project where each student will have to make a machine that can do some work. The best invention will be displayed in the library, and the inventor will be awarded the 'golden mouse' trophy.

Jerry decides to make a machine that will help him catch cheese. He takes pieces of thread and ties them to the cheese. The other end of the thread is fixed to a wheel and axle, which would turn and pull the cheese towards him when it is set in motion.

However, when he starts to demonstrate, the machine malfunctions, and instead of pulling cheese towards Tom, it pulls him towards the cheese. Tom ends up getting stuck in the machine and is unable to escape.
