Mickey, in the Australian bush, throws a boomerang that gets caught in Pluto’s mouth. Mickey then discovers an egg of an emu. Unfortunately, the parent chases him, but Pluto and the boomerang zoom into his path, leaving the emu all tangled.
Sound
Pinto Colvig's Pluto vocals: peak non-verbal comedy acting.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Post-WWII Disney shorts loved exotic locales; this one's basically 'Australia: The Amusement Park.' The boomerang physics are, generously, creative liberties.
Director Charles Nichols later supervised animation on Lady and the Tramp—apparently dogs in peril was his whole brand.
