Mickey's Good Deed is a Christmas-themed Mickey Mouse cartoon released on December 17, 1932. Set during Christmas at the height of the Great Depression, the cartoon depicts Mickey and his dog Pluto as poor street performers who try to make it a happy Christmas for an even poorer family.
Synopsis
On Christmas Eve, a homeless Mickey, accompanied by Pluto, is playing Christmas carols on a stand-up bass for change, but all the stuff he ends up getting is useless.
He then goes to play outside a rich family's mansion, where the spoiled brat Adelbert inside refuses all the expensive toys that his father and the butler try to give him. Then, upon hearing Pluto's howling, Adelbert walks over to the window and peers outside. Upon seeing Pluto, he decides that he wants Pluto. At first, Mickey refuses to sell his companion, but when his bass gets destroyed by a passing sleigh and he sees a house full of poor children with their father (who bares a resemblance to Pete) in jail and their mother crying, he changes his mind and sells Pluto to the rich family. He uses the money to buy lots of toys and a Christmas dinner in a basket. Then, dressed as Santa Claus, he delivers it to the poor children and their mother, who is now snoring when he makes it back to their house.
Meanwhile, Pluto is not at all enjoying life in Adelbert's mansion. Adelbert throws expensive items, toys and foods at Pluto, his father and the butler. Adelbert's father decides he has had enough and orders the butler to throw Pluto out, then gives his bratty son a spanking, much to Pluto's delight. Pluto promptly goes searching for his master.
At a hilltop somewhere, Mickey is solemnly sitting in front of a campfire with a snowdog in Pluto's likeness. Mickey pretends to offer a bite of his hot dog to the snowdog, when suddenly Pluto shows up. Happily reunited, Pluto and Mickey enjoy a roasted turkey that got tied to Pluto's tail earlier.
