This is an early short from Disney featuring Mickey Mouse. There will be spoilers ahead:
A gorilla has escaped from the zoo and Mickey calls Minnie to warn her. She tells him she's fine and not to worry, then proceeds to play the piano and sing while Mickey is still on the phone.
Naturally, the gorilla breaks in and grabs Minnie. It takes Mickey a bit longer than it should to grasp what's happening, but he does and displays Olympic quality steeplechase skills rushing to Minnie's aid.
The rest of the short involves the gorilla terrorizing Minnie, Mickey being alternately scared out of his wits and resolute in seeking Minnie and occasional brief appearances by other critters.
There's a gag involving doors which has become a mainstay of animated humor in what is likely one of its first incarnations. The character animation on the gorilla is great and the short is very good.
This short is available on DVD and is well worth looking for. It's included on the Mickey Mouse In Black and White Disney Treasures release. Recommended.
