The Delivery Boy
1 views
Delivery boy Mickey encounters Minnie washing clothes and singing. He stops for a quick song and dance with her. Meanwhile, Pluto gets tangled up in tar. Mickey sends a beehive flying; it lands on his mule, who kicks Mickey’s instrument-filled wagon into the air. He plays a march or two on the piano with Minnie, with many animals playing along.

Curator’s rating
An early Mickey built around a delivery that goes wrong and a musical number that goes on regardless. The structure of these shorts is essentially a series of interruptions, and the studio had not yet learned that a plot could hold them together.
