[edit] Plot summary

Sylvester spots Tweety on a 30-story window ledge and tries to reach him and eat him. Not only must Sylvester try and get up to the room, but also must avoid Granny. Sylvester spies Tweety bird in a hotel room across the street from him. But there are no dogs or cats allowed in the hotel, according to the sign on the door, so he must improvise, but gets more than he has bargained for with Tweety's owner, Granny. Sylvester finally is defeated when he tries to run away from the traincar that is zapping him everytime the stroller's on the same spot Sylvester's on the high voltage wire.
