Plot

At a Mexican shipping port all the mice are starving to death. Suddenly a ship arriving from Switzerland with a cargo fill with cheese docks. They smell the cheese and race toward the ship, only to be chased away by Sylvester, who's hired to guard all the cheese. The mice suggest that the only mouse to get by Sylvester is Speedy Gonzales. He is called to help get the cheese to the mice. Sylvester challenges Speedy to get by which he did. Speedy goes back and forth to deliver the mice the cheese. All attempts to stop Speedy (from netting him to using a guillotine) fail. The final shot shows the mice happy with all their food as they dance in celebration. Sylvester sees this and declares "well, if you can beat them, join them I always say", which he did by wearing mouse ears and dance with the mice. Speedy sees this and claims that the cat has "gone loco in the cabeza" and joins in the dancing as well as the cartoon ends.
