Plot

[edit]

Minnie Mouse is calling Mickey to remind him about their date, which he has totally forgotten about while sleeping on the couch. With the help of Pluto, Mickey gets dressed for the date, but loses the tickets to the show on his way out the door. Pluto takes the tickets to Mickey, after his tuxedo has just ruined by the water from a passing car, and then Minnie arrives and tells him he has a cute costume for the "hard times" costume party.
