Plot
At a Mexican shipping port all the mice are starving to death. Suddenly a ship arrives from Switzerland with a cargo filled with cheese docks. They smell the cheese and race toward the ship, only to be chased away by Sylvester, who has been hired to guard all the cheese.
The mice suggest that the only mouse to get by Sylvester is Speedy Gonzales. He is called to help get the cheese to the mice. Sylvester challenges Speedy to get by, which he does easily. Speedy goes back and forth to deliver the cheese to the mice. All attempts to stop Speedy (from netting him to using a guillotine) fail. At one point Speedy traps Sylvester in a storage locker which has stacks of malodorous limburger.
The final shot shows the mice happy with all their food as they dance in celebration. Sylvester sees this and declares "well, if you can beat them, join them I always say". He wears mouse ears and dances with the mice. Speedy sees this and claims that the cat has "gone loco in the cabeza". Speedy joins in the dancing as well, as the cartoon ends.
