This is a black and white Mickey Mouse cartoon produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
Mickey and Donald are police officers, Pegleg Pete is a dognapper who has taken a yapping ball of fur named Fifi. Mickey and Donald aren't exactly the best police in the world and their chase of Pete is filled with excellently animated bouts of cowardice and ineptitude on the part of our heroes, particularly Donald (actually proto-Donald, as the character design is markedly different from the Donald most people are familiar with).
Most of the short is spent in a sawmill and a big chunk of it is spent with tables being turned and the advantage switching from Mickey back to Pete, generally because Donald does something that helps out Pete. What finally settles things is a circular saw-blade which comes free and chases down Pete. Some of the best gags and animation come along in this section, as the saw-blade seems to go after Pete like he stole its wallet.
Mickey and Donald take advantage of Pete's plight and truss him up. The last scene is rather funny, This short is available on the Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume One and it and the set are worth finding. Recommended.
