Synopsis
While taking a shipload of musical instruments along the African coast, Mickey and Pluto are captured by a chief and his tribe of cannibals. Mickey ends up in a stew, with Pluto as an appetizer. The savages plan to eat them until Mickey trades the instruments for their freedom. A whole lot of music bursts forth, with the natives playing jazz and dancing on skulls. Mickey saves himself by joining in, even holding a stick with a skull atop it.

Production notes
This Mickey short is considered controversial because of its stereotyping of Africans. With that in mind, Walt Disney Studios withdrew it from television and video release.
