Sylvester sets a mousetrap and attaches a string to said trap. Hippety then hops into the lighthouse and follows Sylvester up the stairs.
Sylvester tells Polly he can catch the mouse in a matter of seconds, and Polly starts counting the seconds. The light-keeper abruptly wakes him up, rebuking, "While you sleep, that crrrrazy moose is loose in the hoose (house)!" (which Polly repeats), then orders him to go upstairs to catch him and to "Hurrrry up, now, hurrrry up, now" (which Polly also echoes). While all this is going on, Sylvester is downstairs sleeping. Hippety Hopper, a baby kangaroo intended for delivery to a city zoo, is inside one of the fallen crates, and after the ship departs, he hops off within the crate until it breaks apart against the rocks, setting him free. The frustrated captain admonishes the light-keeper to keep the beacon lit, and the light-keeper and Polly apologize for the mishap. Polly the parrot immediately flies into the light-keeper's bedroom squawking "Light's out! Light's out!" The lightkeeper wakes up shouting, "Grrrreat Scott! It's that crrrrazy moose (mouse) again!" Consequently, a cargo carrier named Australia crashes into the rocks on the shore of the island, causing several wooden crates to spill overboard. The baggy-eyed rodent crawls out of bed, climbs the steps to the beacon, and yanks the plug out of the outlet to turn it off. It is 11 o'clock at night at a lighthouse on a small island, and the clock's pendulum is intermittently deflecting the light from the beacon into a mouse-hole downstairs, keeping the resident mouse wide awake.
The short was released on March 12, 1955, and stars Sylvester the Cat and Hippety Hopper. Lighthouse Mouse is a 1955 Warner Brothers Merrie Melodies animated cartoon, written by Sid Marcus and directed by Robert McKimson, with voice characterizations provided by Mel Blanc.
