This is an early Mickey Mouse short produced by the Disney studio. There will be spoilers ahead:
This is really two cartoons in one. Mickey and Minnie are having a pleasant trip, being tourists (in the middle of a desert). For roughly the first half of the short, it's calm and tranquil. They arrive at their destination and there are lots of caricatures of the local inhabitants, most of which will offend somebody. Minnie is taking pictures, as tourists do. The best bits here are their camel sticking its head in a barrel labeled Beer and a juggler with an atypical technique.
Then Pete (the version with two legs) spots Minnie and grabs her and sets up the second, more action-packed half of the short, similar to The Gallopin' Gaucho in tone. Mickey learns the perils of driving a drunken camel, Pete heads for his hideout and the fight starts.
Round one ends in Mickey's favor, only to have Pete's henchmen pop out everywhere. Pete starts firing pistols blindly and scatters everyone, leading to some nice animation of everyone trying to hide. Pete manages to catch Mickey before he can get away with Minnie and they start fighting with blades, Mickey predominantly unarmed.
In the end, Mickey successfully rescues Minnie, Pete winds up just getting it in the end and the now sober camel has the last laugh.
This short is available on the Disney Treasures Mickey Mouse In Black and White, Volume Two and it and the set are worth getting.
