In this lighthearted animated adventure, Mickey Mouse finds himself tasked with rescuing a sinking ship, but his crewmates - the ever-clumsy Donald Duck and bumbling Goofy - prove to be more of a hindrance than help. As Mickey works tirelessly on his tugboat to prepare for the mission, the trio faces one comedic mishap after another. Goofy's attempts to stoke the boiler's fire result in an overfilled coal compartment, while Donald becomes entangled in the machinery. To make matters worse, the crew fails to cast off properly, dragging half the dock behind them. With the boiler's pressure reaching its breaking point, a catastrophic explosion ensues. Through it all, Mickey remains determined and good-natured as he navigates this chaotic rescue operation with his lovable but hapless friends.
