When a race for mice opens in town, Mickey is one of those mice racing there. However, it turns out that his enemy Mortimer is also in there, since he is also a mouse.

Whoever cheats is officially out of the game. But Mortimer doesn't play by the rules.

At his home, Mickey is watching TV with his pet dog, Pluto. However, Mickey sees on the TV that a race for mice is in position and plans to go there, which Pluto steals his TV to watch a dog show. At the racing arena, Mickey signs up to become one of the racers but is later uninterested when his enemy, Mortimer, also signs up. Mickey than tries to leave but when the announcer announces that at the end of the race the winner will get all of the cheese at the Cheese Plaza, Mickey once again re-enters the race.

When the race is about to start in one minute, Mickey wishes Mortimer good luck but Mortimer doesn't have the same for Mickey. With Minnie being his tire fixer, the race then starts and all of the cars drive out of the arena to get to the Very Hot Desert.
