Plot

The film begins with a trip to the beach for Tom and Jerry who soon get into a chase. On the same day, the duo later encounter Jonny Quest and Hadji, along with their canine companion Bandit. Tom fights off an evil cat army and sends them to retreat. Later, they meet Race Bannon who takes them to Quest Labs where they meet Jonny's father, Dr. Benton Quest, who happens to have the Q sphere, a device that will solve the world's energy problems.

Meanwhile, Dr. Quest's nemesis, Dr. Zin soon finds out about the device and he sends his bumbling henchcats Tin, Pan and Alley to steal the device and kidnap Dr. Quest. That evening, Tom, Jerry, Bandit, Hadji, Dr. Quest, Jonny, and Race are having dinner. Tom is dissatisfied upon only having a bowl of milk. He tries to get the steak from Bandit which that dog isn't happy about, leaves himself still hungry when he and everyone else go to bed for the night. Before heading for bed, he learns and memorizes the security code, which is 1-2-3-4.
