Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Mickey wants some of the cake Minnie has just baked, so he offers to clean up her yard. As he's working, a tiny tornado (smaller than him) with a mind of its own comes along and causes trouble. After Mickey finally chases the little twister off, it gets its big brother, which makes a grand mess of the yard. Most of the cartoon, except for the opening and closing, has no dialogue.

| Trivia | Mickey Mouse went through a design change in this cartoon. His body became slimmer; his head, hands and feet became larger; his tail was omitted; and, most notably, his ears were hollowed out and reshaped to work in perspective. The new design lasted until after WWII. See more » |
