Regina, who is caring for her ill husband, has a family friend – a catholic priest – over for dinner. Suddenly, and without being invited, her cousin-in-law Eric (who is in a wheelchair after being in a recent accident) and his wife Victoria arrive at her home with their attorney, demanding to speak to her bed-ridden spouse upstairs. Regina however, refuses to let them see him, insisting that they discuss the matter with her instead. The lawyer – Robert – attempts to shed light on a troubling legal development the two couples appear to find themselves in after the recent death of Regina’s father-in-law and the owner and co-founder of the family’s business empire. A baby and its attempted conception, which would solidify a majority of shares as well as controlling interest in the company for one of the couples, throw both into a whirlwind of accusations, excuses, scheming, betrayal, attack plots, defense strategies and generally all-out family war between the two cousins and their wives.

The chase continues between Tweety Bird and that persistant puddy tat, Sylvester. Tweety hides in a millinery store (where Granny happens to be shopping) and hides on a hat. After a store clerk shoos Sylvester outside, she shows Granny a hat with what is thought to be a stuffed bird. Granny buys the hat and wears it immediately. Sylvester spots the hat and immediately begins his pursuit. Among the best gags: Sylvester hiding in a man's hat, and Granny clobbering the man (and puddy) after he makes a fresh remark; Sylvester's tail growing in great length after getting it caught in the elevator door at a department store; and the cat using a bellows to blow Granny's hat into the street, then going after the hat (with the ulterior motive of grabbing his dinner). In the end, Sylvester finally grabs Tweety as he and Granny are riding in a taxi, but the puddy tat getting clobbered when the car enters a low-clearance tunnel.

A man preoccupied with reading his Wall Street Journal goes into an antique store looking for a one-year-anniversary present for his wife. The old lady behind the counter gives him a bottle of perfume and warns him that it is "powerful," but he doesn't listen.....hence the quote at the top of my review.The surprise occurs when Mr. Strait-laced Businessman (as evidently portrayed here by cartoonist Bill Plympton) sees what happens after his hottie wife gets a whiff of the perfume.I don't want to spoil the ending. Suffice to say, other people enter the picture, such as a business boss our man wants to impress and it is pretty funny what happens, even if it is predictable. You'll laugh out loud in the last 30 seconds......guaranteed.This was another enjoyable early ('80s) Plympton cartoon (animated short) that was part of the DVD titled, "Plymptoons: The Complete Early Works Of Bill Plympton."
