Synopsis
Through rain, sleet, snow and even the mail bandits, Mickey's mail will go through. Mickey decides to save the airmail by flying the single-prop plane himself. He weathers storm clouds and lightning strikes. However, Pete is waiting in his bat-shaped plane to hijack Mickey's cargo. Mickey collides with Pete the Air Pirate in a Red Baron-type attack plane. It's a dogfight the rest of the way as Mickey battles Pete a mile up. Using his machine gun, Pete cuts down Mickey's wings and propeller, causing Mickey to fall in a deadly spin. However, the plane runs into a windmill, the blades of which form his new propeller. Using his cannon, Pete shoots a harpoon, which catches Mickey's plane in the rear. However, Mickey turns the table on him by using the cord to drag Pete to the ground, where he is captured. Mickey and Minnie are carried off triumphantly with a movie-ending kiss!
