[edit] Episode Summary

Tom returns from a garbage dump with things he found at the dump. He uses these things to make a computer and uses Jerry as the mouse. While making the computer, Tom breaks a part of the roof to make the computer taller and at the top of the computer there is a clothes hanger. The clothes hanger is struck by lightning. This causes the two to enter the digital world. Tom and Jerry soon meet their own digital versions, which look exactly like them and the two also discover that whenever the two touch their digital versions more digital versions are created. Tom and Jerry soon have an adventure with their digital versions.
