Stayin' Cool

" Stayin' Cool" is the sixth episode of Mickey Mouse.

Plot
Summary

On the hottest day of the year, Mickey, Donald and Goofy try to keep cool.

Synopsis
The camera pans across the neighborhood, showing all the residents suffering from the extreme heat. We then see a large manison with Mickey, Donald and Goofy cooling down in a pool in its backyard. However, they snuck into the pool without permission, which causes the owner to send his guard dogs after the three, which leads them out of his proprety and into the heat.

Now back in the neighboorhood, Donald complains about the heat. Mickey promises him that he'll find a way to keep them cool, but Donald tells him that he'd better hurry because Goofy isn't doing too good (the camera pans to a gag of Goofy melting from the heat).

Mickey's first idea is going into a car wash with his friends. At first, it's great with the cool water hitting them, but when the soap and scrubbing come, not so much.

The next idea to stay cool takes place at an airport. Mickey spins one of the propellers on the air plane, using it as a giant fan for him and his friends. It looks like it's working at first, but the propeller starts to spin so fast that the three get their fur/feathers blown off, then their skin blown off, eventually revealing their skeletons in a gag.

The final idea is hanging in a meat locker/freezer. The result is great at first, but when the butcher mistakes Donald for a piece of meat, he gets ready to carve him. Donald reveals he is indeed living and not a piece of meat, which causes the butcher to scream and chase the three out of his shop. Just as the butcher is about to catch them, Mickey spots a truck and hides in it with his friends, escaping the butcher.

Out of breath from running, Mickey turns on the light in the back of the truck. Once the light is on, it reveals that Mickey, Donald and Goofy are in the back of an ice cream truck's freezer. The camera pans outside, where the ice cream man is about to hand two ice cream cones to two children, but due to the three dancing with joy inside the truck, the stick shift moves, causing the truck to drive away. When the ice cream man turns around, his truck is not there, causing him to scream.

Meanwhile, Mickey, Donald and Goofy are using the ice cream inside the truck to stay cool throughout many gags (rubbing the ice cream on themselves, sitting on the freezers, etc.), unaware that the truck is moving. We see the truck from the outside twisting and turning down the road and hills while the three inside are having an ice cream fight (like a snowball fight), but when Mickey and Goofy fall down from the car bumping, Mickey finally questions who's driving the truck. The camera pans to the empty driver's seat and Mickey, Donald and Goofy start to scream. The truck goes flying into the sky due to its speed off a hill, as Mickey, Donald and Goofy watch in terror. (Goofy does his famous holler during this.)

The truck lands safely on a fire hydrant as the whole neighboorhood gathers around it and watches suspiciously. The hydrant bursts and the truck starts to fill up with water. The truck eventually runs out of space for all the running water, and the water spews out of the top of the truck like a fountain while shooting the three out of the truck, turning into ice and shooting ice cream cones, bars, popsicles and all other kinds of frozen treats into the air, landing into the hands of all the neighboorhood residents.

Due to the temperature, the floor turns to ice and it even starts to snow, turning the hot, tacky neighboorhood into a frozen winter wonderland. Mickey, Donald and Goofy pop out of three snowmen and enjoy some ice cream together, with their wish of staying cool finally being a reality.

The camera pans out to show the entire neighboorhood enjoying the winter wonderland. The episode ends with Donald complaining that he's now freezing.
