The title is a play on the song "Ain't She Sweet."

Plot

Sylvester stands outside a pet store window, watching Tweety singing "Fiddle-De-Di" in the display area. Upon seeing the cat, the bird goes over to a mouse, and they laugh at Sylvester, who then throws a brick at the window in response. However, upon seeing a cop walk up behind him, the would-be feline vandal runs in front of the brick and absorbs the blow.

As Sylvester is planning to cut through the window with a glass cutter, a deliveryman takes Tweety away to be delivered to Granny's house. The cat follows the deliveryman and rushes into the yard, stumbling upon a whole army of bulldogs.

The rest of the cartoon contains Sylvester's attempts (all unsuccessful) to get at Tweety:

Finally, Sylvester decides to wait until the early morning to tip-toe silently through the yard. But the alarm clock goes off at 4 a.m., awakening the dogs who assault the cat one last time, while Tweety watches with delight.
