While floating in a teacup through the gutter in Times Square, Jerry passes by a movie theater. The marquee on the theater reads, "Now Playing! A Tom & Jerry Cartoon!"
The RFD lettering stamped on the mailbox outside Tom and Jerry's home stands for Rural Free Delivery, emphasizing the isolation of their country abode.
This is unusual for a Tom and Jerry cartoon in that the focus is almost entirely on Jerry Mouse. In the 8 minute runtime, Tom has approximately 39 seconds of screen time and for most of that time, Tom is asleep.
