Plot

Babbit hypnotizes Castello who refuses, but fails and finds himself acting like Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Rochester (Jack Benny's sidekick), and then a chicken, and a dog. Babbit hypnotizes him back, but Castello decides to hypnotizes both of them into a cowboy and and a horse, so he can enjoy their house in peace.

Censorship

• The WB shortened the scene when Babbit tries to hypnotize Catstello, so the viewers couldn't see Babbit slapping Catstello in the face several times.
• Both Cartoon Network and The WB eliminated the scene when Babbit hypnotizing Catstello to act like Rochester receiving a telephone call from Jack Benny.
