Tugboat Mickey

Mickey captains a tugboat with Donald and Goofy as the crew.

A lighthearted, frenetic cartoon comedy about Mickey and his bumbling crew attempting a rescue mission, built entirely on slapstick mishaps and good-natured chaos.

Mickey is performing routine maintenance on his tugboat (with interference from a pelican) when a call comes on the radio that there's a sinking ship needing assistance. Sadly, Mickey's crew consists of Donald and Goofy, so getting underway to help is not easy. Goofy has to fight a boiler's door to get it stoked with coal (and when he succeeds, he overfills it) and Donald gets tangled up in the machinery. Not to mention that nobody casts off, so they drag half the dock along with them. The overworked boiler soon explodes.
