This is an early Disney short featuring Mickey Mouse. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is another short long on music and short on plot. It's really a series of set pieces driven by gags. The scene where Minnie does a duet with a bird is very nice. It's triggered by Mickey playing "barber" to a shrub.
There's more than one run in with a cat, which causes no end of trouble later on. Though this starts out with Mickey mowing his lawn (Pluto's actually harnessed to the mower and is technically doing the work) most of this is Mickey flirting with Minnie, with a few really good gags.
What energy there is to this is supplied by a hungry cat which makes a couple of mistakes, thus setting up a good bit of the action here. It's a recipe for disaster and laughs. Pluto and cats typically don't see eye to eye and this short is no exception. Cat + Dog + lawnmower=mayhem.
This short is available on the Mickey Mouse In Black and White Disney Treasures DVD set and is well worth tracking down. Recommended.
