Plot[]
Because a local noblewoman has organized a charity auction of precious family heirlooms, well-bred braggart Mortimer Mouse begins teasing Mickey about his less-than-reputable ancestry (such as the pirate Long John Mouse). Roused, Mickey decides to make a wheel of cheese based on said pirate ancestor's precious heirloom recipe, and enter it in the auction. Naturally, Mortimer isn't the type to play fair, and he attempts to sabotage them…
