The second Mickey Mouse cartoon to be made in 1928, The Gallopin' Gaucho was originally a silent film, but wasn't released until after Steamboat Willie so that sound could be added. The cartoon stars Mickey Mouse as a cowboy, Minnie Mouse as a barmaid and dancer, and Black Pete as an outlaw.The cartoon opens with Mickey riding on a rhea through the desert. He stops a saloon, the Cantina Argentina, and flirts with the barmaid/dancer, Minnie. As they dance, Minnie is grabbed away by Black Pete, a notorious feline outlaw. Pete abducts Minnie, fleeing on his tiny donkey, with Mickey in pursuit on his now-drunk rhea. They come to a steep hill, which Pete descends by stretching the donkey's forelimbs, and Mickey by soaking the rhea in starch. Pete arrives at a hotel and locks the door, but Mickey uses his tail to lasso a post and cranks himself to the top floor, where Pete has chained Minnie to a wall. They fight using a pair of rapiers hanging on a wall, but Pete disarms Mickey. Mickey grabs a chamberpot from beneath the room's bed and tosses it over Pete's head and frees Minnie. Together, they ride off, sharing a kiss.As of 2024, the silent version of the short has entered the Public Domain in the United States; the sound version, which had its copyright registered in 1929, will enter the public domain in the United States in 2025.
