However, Thomas gets back in the house via a window in the basement (or study) and creates a Rube Goldberg-esque trap (virtually identical to one in Charles M Jones' 1945 Porky Pig short Trap Happy Porky) to capture Tweety. The phoom sends Thomas flying right back up the chimney and into a bucket of frozen water. Tweety puts wood in the fireplace, pours gasoline on it and lights it. Undeterred, Thomas tries to get back into the house through the chimney. After Tweety fakes Thomas out with calling for help and he retaliates by trapping Tweety under a glass cup, Tweety stabs his palm with a pin, forcing Thomas to release him as he flies up to the ceiling shouting in pain, while Tweety is able to make enough noise to summon Emma again, who once more beats Thomas with the broom, calls him names, and then finally, throws him out altogether as punishment for disobeying her. Ignoring this command, Thomas initiates a series of failed attempts to get Tweety from his cage, many of which end in a noisy crash that brings Emma downstairs to whack Thomas with a broom while calling him names. ![]() Tweety is brought inside, and Emma warns Thomas not to bother Tweety.
