!!Tropes:
* DisasterDominoes: The final gag of the short. Tom and Jerry take ten paces and turn while wielding slingshots, but in the middle of their pacing, Jerry decides to cheat, plants his slingshot into some rocks and fires his rock at Tom before he is even finished. When Tom prepares to shoot his rock, Jerry's rock hits him and pushes him into a tree, causing him to release his rock. Tom's rock is then caught by Jerry's slingshot, pushes the mouse into another tree and flies back at Tom, who ducks at the last second. The rock is then caught by Tom's slingshot and hits him, flinging him into Jerry's slingshot and into Jerry himself, pushing the mouse back again. Finally, Tom is shot back and gets stuck in a tree.
* DuelToTheDeath: The central theme of the short, which involves Tom and Jerry trying to settle their feud with a duel.
* EpicFlail: Tom tries to hit Jerry with a ball attached to a rope at the beginning of the cartoon, and eventually slams it on a floorboard that propels the mouse into a drawer. He later uses it again near the end of the short when the last challenge of the duel fails.
* FacePlant: Tom and Jerry face-plant into each other's faces when they are flying towards each other as a result of being shot by their bows.
* ForciblyFormedPhysique: The final challenge concludes with Tom getting shot into a tree branch. When he prepares to chase Jerry again, his body is contorted into the shape of said branch before it sprouts back into shape.
* GloveSlap: Jerry hits Tom across the face with a glove from the drawer he landed in to instigate the duel. At the end of the short, he does it again to Tom and tries to initiate another duel, only for Tom to tear Jerry's card into pieces, take the glove and slap Jerry with it, chasing him down as he does so.
* HammeredIntoTheGround: Happens to Jerry in the first two challenges, with a pistol ball in the former and Tom's sword in the latter. Both instances have him laughing at Tom's pain before karma kicks in.
* HereWeGoAgain: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The cold opening of the cartoon repeats after the final unsuccessful challenge, but this Time, Tom rejects the duel and gives Jerry a taste of his own medicine by assaulting him with the glove the mouse used to challenge him to the duel.
* LawOfInverseRecoil: In the fourth challenge, Tom and Jerry aim cannons at each other and light them. When they go off, they get blasted back along with their owners, leaving behind the cannonballs.
* OffIntoTheDistanceEnding: The short ends with Tom chasing Jerry down the mansion while attacking him with the same glove used by the latter.
* PainPoweredLeap: Happens to poor Tom courtesy of Jerry;s bent sword.
* PainToTheAss: Tom is accidentally shot in the rear by Jerry's gun during the first challenge, and later suffers the same thing with the mouse's bent sword.
* SwordFight: The second challenge involves Tom and Jerry resorting to swords to defeat each other. However, Jerry bends his sword so hard that it gets stuck in the shape of s hook, and unsuccessfully tries to toss it at Tom... or so he thinks.

* TheTeaser: Tom is chasing Jerry down the hall, trying to flatten him with a mace. Eventually, he slams the ball down onto a floorboard that shoots Jerry up into the air and into a clothes drawer. Before Tom can dish out another hit with the mace, Jerry signals for him to stop, which he does. He then takes a glove from the drawer and slaps Tom across the face, then takes out a card signaling a duel. Tom reads the card and agrees to participate in the duel.
* TenPacesAndTurn
** The first challenge involves Tom and Jerry doing this. However, since Jerry is small in comparison to his normal-sized gun, he is unable to carry it properly and ends up shooting Tom in the rear before he can finish.
** For the final challenge, they do the same with slingshots, but Jerry cheats and slingshots his rock at Tom before he can finish. Tom gets hit by the rock, releases his rock, and disaster breaks loose.
* WrittenSoundEffect: Both instances of Tom getting hit with Jerry's rock and Jerry getting hit by a flying Tom are accentuated with "BLAP!".
