Plot
Set in Europe, during the Middle Ages, Mickey Mouse, the wandering minstrel, rides on his donkey whilst strumming on his lute, singing his own song. Inside the castle, the princess Minnie and the prince Dippy Dawg, (Goofy), are about to marry each other. But Princess Minnie slaps the prince in the face three times and she did not like him and whilst angering the king, her father, Pete. "Lock her in the attic!" he orders. So Minnie and her servant are both taken to the attic. As Minnie and her servant, Clarabelle Cow, are locked in the attic, Minnie immediately bursts into tears along with Clarabelle sobbing as well as there's no hope left.
Meanwhile, Mickey makes his way to the window of the attic and tells Minnie that he'll save her, not realising that there isn't a rope to climb down from the window. Then, the king orders out, "Bring on the wedding feast!" The chefs come along with a plate full of food, including the stuffed pork. Mickey, grabbing hold of his new found love, glides down the rope of clothes, made by Clarabelle who is now in a barrel as she's not wearing any clothes. The two lovebirds are halfway down, but the king spots them and threatens to chop Mickey's cowardly head off.
But Minnie denies the order and begs her father that she loves him. The king then announces, "Clear the hall, we'll have a duel. The prince shall battle this young fool!" So Mickey and the prince get themselves ready for a duel. As soon as the king clangs the knight's helmet, the duel begins. The prince and Mickey are both catapulted off their horses and into the wall. The prince then grabs a spear and chases after Mickey. But Mickey avoids the spear, making the spear chop in half. Then Mickey grabs the spear and starts to poke the prince. Mickey's donkey and Dippy Dawg's horse are fighting against each other, but the donkey bites the horse's bottom making him whinny and bump into a wall where the king's picture falls onto him, unconscious. The minstrel wins the duel as the prince jumps out of the window whilst his armor is on the ground. Then the princess kisses the king and goes off after the minstrel. They both ride on the donkey as the crowd carries them outside. The short ends with Mickey and Minnie falling in love.
