This is an early Mickey Mouse cartoon produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
Mickey is an airmail pilot in this one. The short starts with some very nice animation of planes landing and taking off before we see Mickey and his plane, with some nice gags involving an oil can. Mickey has been given a strongbox full of money to transport and takes off to a rousing chorus of "The mail must go through"! There are some good flying sequences dealing with weather, rain and snow, with a cute bit with the plane.
Then enters the villain-Pete with two regular legs instead of a pegleg. He wants what Mickey's carrying and shoots his wings and propeller off, but Mickey is quite inventive in coming up with variations on a propeller so as to keep flying.
Pete's last trick backfires on him and Mickey makes it to point "B" to the cheers of the crowd and Minnie as well. Pete is captured and our hero is reunited with the lady fair.
This short is available on the Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Black and White DVD set and it and the set are worth finding. Recommended.
