He later returns to scold the trio but accidentally ignites a gas leak by striking a match on Donald's beak, triggering an explosion that destroys the house and loads everything into Goofy's truck. He ends up stranded in a second-story bathtub, suffering further humiliation when he accidentally turns on the hot water. Mickey Mouse (played by Walt Disney) is a protagonist in Moving Day.
