Plot
Mickey finds out about a new boxing match involving "Kongo the Killer". So what Mickey does is construct a mechanical man, and teaches it how to box while playing piano. Minnie Mouse then comes and honks her car horn, causing the mechanical man to run into a frenzy. The match then begins, and the mechanical man, however, is losing, once felt dazed by Kongo. Kongo is hitting his neck, causing his head to aim toward the ceiling. This continues, until the metal man becomes angry and knocks Kongo to the ground. The Mechanical man is seen beating up Kongo, and Mickey and the other fans happily clap, and the cartoon ends.
