Coyote and Road Runner cartoon To Beep or Not to Beep . Maurice Noble was the cartoon 's co-director , the animation was credited to Ben Washam , Ken Harris , Don Towsley and Dick Thompson . The music was scored by Eugene Poddany and backgrounds by Phil DeGuard . Mel Blanc was on hand to supply the screams , yells , and other vocal effects . The cartoon 's title is a pun on the MGM film Bad Day at Black Rock , though the cartoon 's plot bears with no resemblance . Plot ( edit ) On a high rise Tom walks across a beam and stops in order to stare into the air . A black dotted line is formed in the air , and Tom walks across it . Jerry then creates one himself in the shape of stairs , and then drops the stairs while Tom is on them , causing Tom to fall into a manhole . The title cards are then shown while Tom lights multiple matches ( with Tom burning his hand on one ) . Tom walks to a room and one of his matches ignites a stash of dynamite , which throws him out of the manhole and into the beam that Jerry is standing on . Jerry hits a second beam and then grabs onto Tom 's fur . He uses the fur as a parachute down to a safe wood outcropping . Tom , brimming with rage , shows up , takes his fur back , and puts it back on . Tom only runs a few paces before realizing that his tail is still crunched up . He undoes his tail and pops it out , but loses his fur again . Tom and Jerry are now chasing each other across high - rise beams , and Jerry discovers a yellow glove and gets in it . Tom is so far behind that Jerry has a plan . He `` whistles '' like a police officer and holds out his hand , and then points into the distance . Tom looks over Jerry 's shoulder and gets punched . Jerry / glove counts `` 1 , 2 , 3 '' and then Tom gets up and throws punches at him . Jerry shakes Tom 's hand and then throws him on top of the beam he is standing on . Jerry retrieves a cutting torch and cuts through the beam . Tom falls to earth with a section of the beam on top of his head and hits the ground with no visible damage , until his body weight starts collapsing towards the lower part of his body . Jerry slides down to the ground and Tom chases him behind some pillars . Both cat and mouse start to poke their heads out from different pillars until Tom sees Jerry 's back and tries to poke his behind with a nail , but only pokes himself . Tom hits the top of the beam and falls to the ground . Jerry waves and whistles at the cat . The remainder of the cartoon features Tom using a large rock and a see - saw , which consists of a beam balanced by a rock , to attempt to reach Jerry . Each rock has a different form after each unsuccessful attempt . Attempt 1 : Tom throws the rock onto the other side of the see - saw , but it is slanted too much to the right and Tom is launched sideways into another network of beams . Attempt 2 : Tom throws the rock straight up and squashes himself . Jerry 's ears rattle from the recoil . Attempt 3 : Tom pitches the rock onto the other end , but it lands on its point and tips over several times , squashing the cat again . Jerry begins to look worried . Attempt 4 : Tom throws the rock to the other side , but it squashes the beam into a 90 - degree angle and causes Tom to be shifted right and then fall on top of the rock . Jerry starts walking dejectedly across the beam he is on . Attempt 5 : Tom throws the rock up and it falls dead center , squeezing the beam and Tom around itself ( `` appearing '' like a flask ) . Jerry kicks a pebble and it falls into a paint can . Jerry sees it next to a bunch of boards and prepares to write . And Attempt 6 : Tom throws the rock up and dashes away to a safe bunker . When he sees that the rock has landed perfectly , he jumps onto the other end and it catapults him up , but onto another beam and back down to the same end of the see - saw , and the rock is thrown up in the air and back onto him . At the same time , Jerry paints out `` The End '' on a board and pushes it onto the camera , ending the cartoon .
