As Tom and Jerry stage their typical fight sequences, the patriotic soldier theme of the title is evidenced by such things as a carton of eggs labeled “Hen Grenades”; Jerry dropping light bulbs from an airplane like bombs; and Jerry sending a telegram with the message “Sighted Cat – Sank Same.” Musical phrasings from various patriotic war songs are heard throughout. The cut scene after Jerry hitting Tom with the board 4 times was cut from the 1950 reissue print for a war bond joke, and the original footage is currently considered “lost” due to the negatives destroyed in the 1978 George Eastman House fire.

Elmer Fudd introduces two pieces of classical music: “Tales of the Vienna Woods” and “The Blue Danube”, and acted out by Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Laramore the Hound Dog, a family of swans, and a juvenile Daffy Duck.

A crazy squirrel provokes a dog into trying to catch him throughout the picture.

Woody is standing outside the Seville Barber Shop looking at the ads. Wanting a “victory haircut”, he decides to enter the shop only to find the owner has stepped out for a physical.

Tom inherits $1,000,000 from an eccentric aunt on the condition that he not harm any living thing – even a mouse. And guess which mouse keeps following him around and pointing this out to him?
