Ham and Bud are ordered to deliver the instrument at the Newlywed residence. While returning home, Mrs. Newlywed encounters Bert Chasem, a flirt. By planting a blow on his jaw, the woman intimates that Bert's attentions are rather distasteful. Undaunted, the flirt follows Mrs. Newlywed and hides himself in her home. Ham and Bud arrive with the piano. Bud, who is about four feet tall, does all the work, while Ham gives him his moral support and kind advice. Mrs. Newlywed learns of Bert's presence and gives Ham $5 to throw the man out. As luck would have it, Mr. Newlywed arrives home. Mistaking him for his victim, Ham promptly throws Newlywed down the steps. Meanwhile, Bud tires of Ham's tyranny and, securing a gigantic sledge hammer, resolves upon revenge. Mr. Newlywed returns with a policeman and the tangle is unsnarled when Bert is discovered and captured. Ham heads for his place of business. He chances to pass the very spot where Bud lies in ambush. The next moment Ham sees more stars than ever were in the heavens. He counts them as he falls. His foe brought down to his own size, Bud sits astride Ham and pummels away for dear life.
