This is an early Mickey Mouse short produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
Mickey is the titular character and the short opens with him filling a bag with potatoes on a scale for Minnie's delivery order. He spills them on the floor when the bag rips. Just then the phone rings-it's Minnie, demanding delivery of her order.
The first of a number of beautifully animated sequences has Mickey racing to deliver Minnie's order. Minnie, clearly infatuated with Mickey, nonetheless pretends to be cold and disinterested. It is only when Mickey is injured in a mishap that Minnie drops the act and rushes to comfort Mickey.
The turkey in the oven begins to smoke and is left on the oven lid to cool, thus setting the stage for a disaster. Mickey "helps" Minnie prepare the meal, proving that he's even worse as a cook than he is at delivering groceries. There's more flirtation than food preparation going on in the kitchen, though they do make a rather nice layer cake together.
Disaster, by the name of Pluto, lurks, as Pluto notices the turkey and starts sniffing and licking his chops. Minnie notices his keen interest, screams, and Pluto grabs the turkey and runs. The best animation of the short follows, as Pluto is chased by both unhappy mice. The ending is telegraphed a mile away, but it's still a most enjoyable short.
This short is available on the Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Black and White Volume Two DVD set and it and the set are well worth getting. Recommended.
