This is a very early Mickey Mouse short done by Disney. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is Mickey Mouse version 1.0-our hero sports a serape, has a "Wanted" poster of him on the wall of a cantina, drinks beer and rides an ostrich. Mickey is a bit of a rogue here, not the affable "nice guy" he later became.
Mickey and Minnie do a very intense dance together before an early variation on Pegleg Pete (with two legs) grabs Minnie and skedaddles on his horse. Mickey gives chase on his now drunken ostrich.
As is typical of most Ub Iwerks-helmed shorts the animation here is excellent. This one has fairly good gags and an interesting chase sequence.
After fighting Pete, Mickey emerges triumphant and they go riding off together, with the final visuals in the last gag being very nice.
This short was released on the Mickey Mouse in Black and White Disney Treasures DVD set and it's well worth seeking out. Recommended.
