The original print has a scene showing Tom being set on fire, then burnt into an African-American caricature (complete with knotted hair-do). Later prints have reanimated Tom so that he no longer looks "black" though some network TV prints omit the gag entirely.
Also, in the original version, when Tom throws a butter knife to stop Jerry from running away, this scene was slightly modified for some prints in which Tom throws not a butter knife, but a fork.
