A lighthearted early Mickey Mouse cartoon that plays with slapstick peril and romantic concern, built on physical comedy and cheerful energy.

A gorilla has escaped; Mickey, panicked, calls Minnie, but she plays a song to show she is not afraid. That is, until the gorilla comes up behind her and grabs her. Mickey rushes right over to save her.
