Animals on a farm lead a revolution against the farmers to put their destiny in their own hands. However this revolution eats their own children and they cannot avoid corruption.

Three hunters surprise two poachers in the act. The hunters take umbrage and give chase over fences and through fields. The hunters fire away, but the poachers have guns as well, and a fight ensues with casualties for the hunters. Two cops appear and so do dogs as the chase continues. Will the poachers escape, or will they, like the game they were after, be trapped?

Jerry walks along in the countryside. He finds a car and gets in. C/U of him driving. He makes funny faces at the audience. He stops and looks around (seems like he is in the same place so hasn't really been driving.) Suddenly the car lurches off. The car careers down a hillside. We see the car driving along at great speed with Jerry's feet sticking out of the back. Jerry shouts for help and says a prayer. He tries to get out. He shouts "What'll I do?" An aircraft pilot responds with: "Stick it Jerry!"

We see a cartoon artist sketching at his desk. Closer shot of the paper he is drawing on reveal him to be drawing Jerry. He props Jerry up on the table and wags his finger at him: "Stay there till you're wanted!" reads an intertitle. The artist gets up. Drawing of an urban landscape with radio communication wires stretching across the sky is shown. The wires vibrate. Cut back to Jerry. Words come out of the radio which is standing next to the sketch of Jerry. "Hullo everybody! In one minute you will hear the bedtime stories!" Jerry looks pleased and jumps off the page and into the horn of the radio (it is a funny looking radio that has a small round dial attached to an ornate horn like an old gramophone.)

Jerry the Tyke also known as Jerry the Troublesome Tyke is a cartoon dog created during the silent film era. Created by Cardiff-based animator Sid Griffiths, and shown throughout British cinemas as part of Pathé Pictorial's screen news-magazines, Jerry the Tyke was the first animated series to be made in Wales.

Jerry stands on a chair by a dinner table. He looks at the things on the table then looks at the audience. He says: "No breakfast again!" He picks up the newspaper and looks at it. He sees an advert which reads: "C.O.D. Order your food by post." Jerry has an idea. He writes on the newspaper, filling in the words for C.O.D. as "Cats or Dogs"

Hands pick it up and a shape is cut out of the paper very quickly. When it is turned around it reveals itself to be Jerry. He blinks and yawns then gets angry at the hand that is holding him. The animators other hand pulls his tail. Jerry yelps in pain. He says (in a speech bubble) "I've had enough of this dog's life! I'm going to commit suicide!!"

A tin can bounces along the road. It is attached to Jerry's tail. "Five miles, and I haven't gained an inch!" reads an intertitle. Jerry looks behind at the can. Jerry runs through a hole in a fence but the tin can is too big to follow him through. Jerry runs on the spot until the string snaps. Jerry rolls along until he hits a cleat on the quayside. He looks at his tail and wags it to make sure that it is still working OK. He looks at the boat which is attached to the cleat: "Here's a chance, I'll stowaway!"

Jerry the Tyke also known as Jerry the Troublesome Tyke is a cartoon dog created during the silent film era. Created by Cardiff-based animator Sid Griffiths, and shown throughout British cinemas as part of Pathé Pictorial's screen news-magazines, Jerry the Tyke was the first animated series to be made in Wales.

And now, in this first issue of a new All-British series of Cartoons..." Animation featuring the fabulous Jerry the Troublesome Tyke - a cartoon dog. A U.I.C. production. A pen magically writes the words: "His mother was a "Nib" and his father was a "Big Pot." - we see drawings of a pen and a bottle of ink.

Exterior of a "general store". The shopkeeper comes out and whistles through his fingers. Jerry comes running and stands on his nose. He spins on his nose. The shopkeeper says: "You mind the store and look out for thieves." "Trust me boss!" says Jerry. He flexes his muscles. Shopkeeper goes off, Jerry laughs and goes inside the shop.

Begins with a shot of Jerry running along in a park - there is real action footage behind him. M/S of the artist Sid Griffiths having a snooze beside an easel with a piece of paper attached. We see Jerry running along again. He says: "Me for home and a good dinner!" Sid wakes up and rubs his eyes. Words appear on the screen: "Jerry's dinner time, I'll give him some bones."

Man on a ladder holding a bucket and a brush puts up a poster for the British Empire Exhibition - "Why not go to Wembley?". Jerry walks along reading a newspaper. In a thought bubble above his head we can see that he is thinking about horse racing, the tote and money (I think!). He's so deep in thought that he knocks the poster man off his ladder. The man is very angry and knocks Jerry over with his brush. Jerry sees stars.

When we last saw Jerry, it was raining coconuts. The storm has passed..." (This is a reference to the previous week's episode which was almost certainly "Jerry's Treasure Island Travel.") Jerry lies under some palm trees on an island. He sits up and looks at the camera - dazed. Scratches his head and looks around. He gets up and is scalped by a fast flying spear. His ears have disappeared. He shakes his head and looks puzzled. He has an idea - he picks up two spiky plants and sticks them on his head instead of ears.

We see the animator's hand as he draws Jerry (Sid Griffiths?). Jerry is cycling along but the artist hasn't drawn him a bike. Speech bubble comes out: "- Mr. Artist! What about the bike?" A bike is drawn in. Jerry carries on cycling. There is moving landscape behind him. Suddenly a fire engine starts bringing up the rear. Jerry cycles along looking scared. The fire engine chases Jerry.

Jerry wakes up in a bad mood and throws a shoe at his alarm clock. He finds that a letter has come for him. It is a letter on headed paper from Pathe Freres Cinema Ltd. letting him know that arrangements have been made for him to film "Big Game in the Tropics".

Animation featuring Jerry the Troublesome Tyke - a cartoon dog. A cartoon curtain rises. A U.I.C. production. M/S of Sid Griffiths reading a newspaper. He folds it up and looks at his drawing board. He sees Jerry walking along with a bag of golf clubs on his back. "Hello Jerry, where are you going?" asks Sid. Jerry walks along and says "Golfing!" Sid sits back in his chair and says: "Off to the links, eh?" Jerry says: "I've got my own." Sid scratches his head. "Own what?" "Links!" Jerry holds out a cufflink. It has the initials AO and FB on either side. Sid scratches his chin. Dissolve into some sheet music. It is the song "The More We Are Together" and is the official song of the Ancient Order of Froth Blowers. (Presumably this is what AO and FB stands for). Dissolve back into shot of Sid at the drawing board. He wags a finger at Jerry. "Beware of the 19th hole!" Jerry looks puzzled. He puts his cufflink in his pocket.

Animation featuring Jerry the Troublesome Tyke - a cartoon dog. A U.I.C. production. Jerry appears through a hole in a theatre stage, jumps up and takes a bow. He looks around and starts talking. Intertitle reads: "Ladies and Gentlemen: You will be delighted to hear that the famous pianist Ottstuffski is unable to appear, and therefore, I have been asked to deputize (sic)"

A U.I.C. production. Animation featuring Jerry the Troublesome Tyke - a cartoon dog. Jerry stands in front of a large mirror combing his hair/ears. M/S of Sid Griffiths sitting at the drawing board. He points a finger at the drawing on an easel in front of him. "What's all the fuss about?" he asks. Jerry says: "I've entered myself for the dog show!" Sid sits back in his chair. Jerry flexes his ears backwards and forwards. He makes his ears all pointed. "What price me as an Alsatian?" Sid shakes his head. He puts a brush on his head and says: "Think I'll do as one of these?" Sid shakes his head. "Well give me a few spots and I'll go as a Dalmatian!!" shouts Jerry.
