In an effort for food, Tom runs to a man selling hot dogs, but accidentally steps on a slip of paper that he kicks off and the man finds. Happily, the hotdog man finds out the paper was a winning lottery ticket and gives Tom his job because of his newly-won money. The cat finds that there is only one hotdog left that he takes out to eat, but Spike pulls it right before Tom is able to take one bite, and flips him a quarter. Spike and Tom then see Jerry who is playing the bongos with his tiny feet, which gives him much money. In anger and jealously, Tom plays instruments as well, causing Jerry to lose all of his money, which gets sent to Tom. This makes both characters play music to get the other's money.
