Tom and Jerry: The Magic Ring centers on Tom, tasked with guarding a priceless magic ring by his wizard master “Chip.” The wizard departs for Calcutta to get a special kind of milk needed for a potion, leaving Tom in charge. If Tom keeps the ring safe, he’ll be rewarded; if not, he faces being kicked out of the house. Jerry accidentally gets the ring stuck on his head and runs off into the city. Hijinks ensue as Tom pursues Jerry, trying various schemes to retrieve the ring, while the ring’s magic causes chaos — zapping pursuers, freezing people, and creating comedic mayhem. Eventually, after much chasing, transformations, and misadventures involving other characters like Butch, Spike & Tyke, Droopy, and others, the ring is removed, order is restored, and Chip rewards Jerry (turning the promised salmon into cheese via the ring).
