This is an early Mickey Mouse cartoon produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is a very good short, with Mickey playing a wandering minstrel, Minnie a princess and Goofy (here named Dippy Dawg) as a prince, of all things.
The king announces Minnie's impending wedding to Goofy, to which she objects strenuously by slapping him repeatedly. He should have run after the first slap. Minnie is banished to the attic by the king. Mickey sees this and goes outside the attic window to vow (in "song") that he'll rescue her, then floats up to her window and into the attic, asking her if she has a rope! If she had a rope, she wouldn't need rescuing.
While king and court are pigging out at the banquet (at which the guillotine is put to a creative use) Mickey and Minnie are escaping out the window on an improvised rope made from Clarabelle Cow's clothing (don't ask!). They get caught because the short needs a stirring ending, so Mickey gets introduced to the guillotine in its traditional form of usage. Minnie pleads that she loves this complete stranger and the king suggests a duel, in the form of a joust. This takes up most of the last two minutes and is hilarious. The outcome is obvious and the ending is cute.
This short is available on several DVDs and is well worth tracking down.
