Jerry is freezing half to death in the scathing temperature of the cold Swiss Alps and ends up rolling straight towards a cheese shop in a snowball, and upon surveying the interior of the shop through the window, he is more than eager to seek shelter inside, unknowingly shutting Tom, who resides in the shop, outside. Tom then spots the mouse inside the shop and tries to get back in and get rid of him.
Tropes:
- Ballet: After the wheel of cheese he is in blows up, Jerry comes out unharmed with a thin piece of cheese around his waist, acting as a tutu. Once he sees the tutu, Jerry then decides to break out in some ballet dancing, which Tom finds to be enjoyable. After Jerry's performance, Tom then applauds for the mouse as he stands up, approaches him and slaps Jerry unconscious in between his hands.
- Braving the Blizzard: The cartoon starts off with Jerry shivering as he wanders through the cold Swiss Alps.
- Cartoon Cheese: The cheese shop is full of them.
- Chimney Entry: When Tom sees Jerry in the cheese shop through the window, he tries to get back in by scaling the shop and climbing down the chimney. Unfortunately, an oblivious Jerry has decided to light the fire, causing poor Tom to be subjected to a Pain-Powered Leap back out the chimney.
- Circling Birdies: Stars circle around Jerry when he is knocked unconscious by Tom.
- Dance Party Ending: After Jerry is resuscitated by Tom, he changes into an outfit from one of the Swiss dolls he collides into and dances while Tom plays the piano.
- Evil Laugh: Tom lets out one when he manages to knock Jerry unconscious by slapping him in between his hands.
- Hammered into the Ground: To get Jerry out of the wheel of cheese that the mouse is making himself at home in, Tom seals the holes in the cheese with corks. One of them gets driven through a hole above Jerry and drives him into the surface of the cheese at waist level.
- Harmless Freezing: As Jerry is enjoying himself in the cheese shop, Tom, who had just failed to enter the shop via the chimney, manages to open the door with a small hook attached to a string, and we see that he has been frozen with the exception of his tail, which he uses to move himself and pump the bellows against the fireplace to defrost.
- Hot Drink Cure: After having a change of heart and retrieving Jerry from the snow, Tom revives him with a warm blanket and a spoonful of strong alcohol.
- Human Snowball: While walking through the Alps, Jerry gets hit in the back by some snow flying in the wind, causing him to roll down a hill into a snowball before reaching a village and colliding with a pillar.
- Impact Silhouette:
- Tom leaves an impression in the snow when the rain gutter that he's stuck in collapses.
- Jerry also leaves one in the snow when Tom throws him outside, and his tail is sticking out of it.
- Jerkass Has a Point: While Tom is trying to throw Jerry back out into the snow, he does have a right to be annoyed that Jerry (albeit accidentally) locked him out of the shop and into the cold.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Tom succeeds in getting rid of Jerry and settles back to sleep in his armchair, but his conscience soon gets the better of him when he imagines Jerry dying from hypothermia and ascending to Heaven.
- Pun-Based Title: Of "nobody loves me".
- Prehensile Tail: A frozen Tom manages to get back inside the cheese shop and thaw himself against the fireplace with his tail, which is the only body part of him that remains unfrozen.
- Public Domain Soundtrack: As stated before, the soundtrack of the cartoon consists of notable Chopin musical pieces.
- Rump Roast: It's not shown onscreen, but Tom's scream after Jerry lights the fireplace implies this.
- Shrug Take: Jerry unintentionally causes Tom to land in the lit fireplace, leaving the poor cat to fly out of the chimney, tumble into the rain gutter and fall into the snow below. The mouse just shrugs off what happened and goes along with his business.
- Snow Means Cold: Need we say more?
- Winged Soul Flies Off at Death: Prior to saving Jerry's life out of a change of heart, Tom imagines the mouse passing away in this manner.
- Written Sound Effect: The explosion of the wheel of cheese is punctuated by a "BLAM!".
