Mickey and Minnie celebrate their raceversary in London, but the notorious jewel thief and TV personality Lord Pete steals a ruby belonging to the Queen and plants the stolen gem in Mickey's Roadster. It's up to Mickey to capture Lord Pete and return the ruby to the Queen.
Plot[]
The episode starts off in London, where Sir Lord Pete breaks into a museum and steals the Queen's royal ruby and escapes before the security guard finds out. The scene then cuts to the Roadster Garage, where Billy Beagle announces a Roadster race taking place in London later that day. Minnie then gives Mickey a picture, as a present of their raceversary, the anniversary of competing in their first Roadster race. It is at this point that Mickey realizes he forgot to get a present for Minnie for this occasion. Goofy and Donald tell Mickey that he can find a present for Minnie in London before the race begins.
The scene then cuts back to London, where the racers are exploring London before the race. Mickey is about to explore a gift shop for a gift as Sir Lore Pete stashes the ruby inside Mickey's Roadster as a security guard talks to him. The gift shop turns out to be closed, so Mickey goes back to his Roadster and drives off, unknowing of the ruby inside. Mickey catches up with the Roadsters as he discovers the ruby, which Minnie assumes is supposed to be Mickey's present to her for their raceversary. Mickey barely has to time to explain as the race is now underway. Sir Lord Pete catches up with Mickey and steals back the ruby. Goofy chases the criminal onto the London Eye and gives Mickey back the ruby.
As the race continues, a news broadcast reveals that the ruby was stolen, and everyone deduces that it was Sir Lord Pete who stole it. Just as they figure out the true thief, he appears and steals the ruby back again. As they are pursuing the thief, Pete bumps Donald's Roadster into the River Thames. Mickey tricks Pete and gets the ruby back. Mickey comes up with a plan to get Sir Lord Pete arrested and instructs Minnie and Daisy to lure the news team to the bridge.
Pete chases Mickey onto Tower Bridge as he accidentally reveals out loud that he stole the ruby as the news catches it on camera. Mickey throws the ruby into the river. Pete dives after it, but Donald, who was still in the river, catches it before Pete finds it. Mickey then explains to the security guard that it was Pete who stole the ruby as Goofy uses a crane to pull Pete out of the river and Donald tosses the ruby to Mickey. Mickey then gives the ruby back to the queen, who invites him and Minnie for tea at Buckingham Palace. Minnie proclaims that this is the best raceversary ever as the episode ends with her kissing Mickey on the cheek, while he gives a thumbs up to the viewers.
Trivia[]
While stealing the ruby, Lord Pete replaces it with a magic lamp resembling Genie's Lamp from the Aladdin franchise.
On Disney+ prints of this episode, the scene where Lord Pete bumped Donald's Roadster into the River Thames was cut.
Goofs[]
When Minnie first talks to Mickey through video call, she has her right hand on the steering wheel. But when the camera angle changes, she is holding the ruby in her right hand.
Lord Pete loses his shoes when he falls off the London Eye. But when he hits the brakes after Mickey tells him, "Is that the Queen?", his foot is depicted with a shoe on. Then during the scene at the London Bridge, Lord Pete is seen without his shoes again.
