Plot:
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy are firefighters responding to a fire in some kind of hotel or boarding house. Mickey drives a contemporary style hook-and-ladder fire truck. After several incidents in their efforts to put out the fire, Mickey realizes that there is a woman upstairs who needs saving. They find Clarabelle Cow locked in the bathroom of her rented room. She is taking a bath and singing to herself, unaware that the hotel is on fire. Mickey and Donald break the door down, using Goofy as a battering ram. Clarabelle thinks that the trio are kidnappers. She screams for the police, while hitting them with her scrub brush. Not bothering with explaining the situation to her, 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 jump after her, and they land in the bathtub with her. Clarabelle does not appreciate sharing her bathtub with three men, and starts defending herself by smacking them with her scrub brush again.
