Mickey Mouse,Donald Duck, andGoofy arefirefighters responding to a hotel fire. Mickey drives a contemporary stylehook-and-ladder fire truck, Donald is standing on the stack of ladders on the truck shouting "Fire! Fire! Fire!", while Goofy is steering the rear of the truck.
The three fire fighters arrive at the hotel and go to work. The film is filled with gags which show the trio to be inept firemen, and that the fire and smoke to have minds of their own.
Finally, Mickey realizes that there is a woman upstairs who needs saving. They findClarabelle Cow locked in the bathroom taking a bath and singing to herself, unaware that the hotel is on fire. After Goofy unsuccessfully warns her through thetransom, Mickey and Donald break the door down using Goofy as a battering ram. Clarabelle is alarmed and thinks that Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are kidnappers. As Clarabelle is screaming for the police and hitting them with her scrub brush, the three firefighters lift her bathtub, with Clarabelle still in it, and shove it out the window.
Clarabelle sails through the air in her tub and slides down a ladder onto the fire truck. The three firefighters then land in the bathtub whereupon Clarabelle begins smacking them with her scrub brush.
The short was released on December 4, 2001 onWalt Disney Treasures: Mickey Mouse in Living Color.[6]
