Summary
Mickey struggles to get his life back after a mischievous monkey steals his identity.
Synopsis
We open on three monkeys in the jungle; one of them is asleep. Then Minnie, Donald, and Goofy load all their stuff onto the boat. Goofy eats an apple and burps very loudly. He and Donald notice that Mickey is taking a long time. Minnie calls his name loudly. Meanwhile, he is surprised to see a monkey in his room. He then says that it is not allowed in there, but it jumps on the fan and he breaks it and they fall. It steals his clothes and jumps out the window, leaving him naked (but there is no censor bar on his body since his private parts are not shown). Goofy is happy to see it and Donald asks what took him so long. Goofy calls the monkey "Mickey" and it boards the boat. Mickey tells his friends to wait, but they don't listen to him. He calls to his friends, but Goofy thinks that Mickey is a monkey (without he noticing). Minnie, Goofy, and Donald are happy to see Mickey Monkey, but Mickey is upset and he runs in the grass, and a turtle bites his tail. It throws him out over the sailboat and into a spiderweb. Goofy thinks Mickey is a monkey again when he sees him taking a nap in his hammock, and thinks he's cute. He gets stuck in the spiderweb, the spider puts salt on his toe, and he screams. Mickey Monkey reenacts a scene from "Steamboat Willie", and turns the boat around as yellow water comes towards him and the log he is riding on. Goofy thinks that Mickey is dancing, but he is actually being bitten by a bloodsucking worm. Mickey Monkey plucks something (presumably a bug) off of Minnie's head and eats it (but she doesn't seem to mind). Goofy and Donald are happy again and Minnie thinks Mickey Monkey is considerate and kisses him. Mickey's eyes flare up in anger as he pulls the worm out. He runs through the leaves and goes to the boat, but Goofy thinks Mickey is a monkey yet again, enraging him. After he explains that he's the real himself, "LOOK OUT!!" Minnie said and Goofy and Donald grab his tail as he starts running. Minnie ducks when Mickey runs to hit Mickey Monkey and gets his clothes back. The monkey runs out of the boat and jumps into a tree. Mickey's friends are worried about him, but he is okay. However, the boat falls down a waterfall and Goofy, Minnie, and Donald turn into crocodiles or alligators. Mickey, however, isn't scared or startled; he just whistles happily.
