Plot
On the island of Hawaii, Granny is off to join a celebration, leaving Tweety to look after himself. A peckish Sylvester spots Tweety and tries to get him, but only one thing stands between Sylvester and his prey: Granny's pet Sharky. Sylvester's attempts with a zip-line, an air pumping diving suit and a pair of stilts all fail. Just then Granny and Tweety leave, finished from their vacation. Determined not to lose Tweety, Sylvester rows in a canoe after the cruiser with Sharky behind him all this time.
