What happens

Puss 'n' Boats is a 1966 Tom and Jerry animated short. It was directed by Abe Levitow and produced by Chuck Jones, and is the first short with Carl Brandt as music composer. The title's a play-on-words of the phrase "Puss in Boots", and is similar to Cruise Cat (1952), from the Hanna-Barbera era. In the film, Jerry impersonates a sea captain aboard a ship. In a scene taking place in the stratosphere, there is a depiction of an unnamed astronaut from the Gemini spacecraft doing a spacewalk and waving at Tom. The final scenes of the film involve Jerry trying to feed Tom to a shark, resulting in Tom fleeing with the shark in pursuit. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
