The cartoon spoofs the 1937 book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, which was popular at the time; it features a giant, dimwitted cat named "Benny", who wants Sylvester, whom he calls "George", to help him catch a mouse to "hug and pet." Mel Blanc voices Sylvester and Stan Freberg voices Benny. Sylvester tries to tell Benny the mouse is a king-sized mouse, but Benny does not believe him and threatens to "stroke his fur the wrong way" if he drives him crazy.
