An angry Tom then chases Jerry to Rocky's Saloon, where he gets his head caught in the clapping doors before finding him in the basement.
As Tom tries to yank it out, Jerry opens another door above Tom's head and hits him with a large mallet. Jerry then puts a large bag of flour in Tom's hand to fool him into thinking it's him. Jerry rushes inside, but Tom puts his hand through the door, trying to grab him. Once Tom has recovered, he gives chase until they reach Jerry's hideout. Tom jumps away in shame as Jerry throws himself to the ground in a fit of laughter. Tom and Jerry gather for a confrontation of drawing their weapons, but when Tom draws his weapons, he accidentally breaks his belt and the bottom half of his fur falls down, revealing his boxers. He then gives a poor demonstration of how he is quick on the draw with mousetraps.
He crashes into the sheriff's office and gives him a card saying "Have Trap, Will Travel". This turns out to be Tom, who comes to town riding spurs like skates. When the shopkeeper angrily demands action, the sheriff hires the "fastest trap in the West" to Jerry's horror, a dramatic scene shown before the start. In the Old West town of Dry Gulp, Jerry - wanted for "cheese rustlin'" - steals a piece of cheese at the general store.

It was the tenth of the thirteen cartoons in the series to be directed by Gene Deitch and produced by William L. Tall in the Trap is a 1962 Tom and Jerry animated short Western film, produced and released on September 14, 1962.
