Mr. Spots, suspicious of his wife and this persistent piano tuner, hires Spyer, a detective, to investigate matters. Unknown to Spots, Spyer disguises himself as Bumtone and calls to tune Mrs. Spots' piano. Meantime, Mrs. Largo, a neighbor, receives word that Professor Pounderalloutski, a great pianist, is coming to play for her. Her piano is in a frightful condition, and hearing a piano tuner next door, rushes over and demands Spyer, the supposed piano tuner, to come and tune her piano. Now, Spyer, although he had never before seen the inside of a piano, makes a bold attempt to tune it. He gets it all apart and then cannot get it back together again. Fearful of Mrs. Largo, he makes his escape, going back to Spots' home. Spots, returning home, has hidden himself behind the piano, whereupon Spyer entering, Spots puts things in a general confusion, setting Mrs. Spots at her wit's ends. Spyer now reveals his identity to Spots, and at the same time assures him that Mrs. Spots is all right. Mrs. Largo, discovering the condition of her piano, rushes immediately over to Spots' home. Spyer, seeing her, ducks and hides in a clothes press. Bumtone, in trying to make his escape from behind the piano, runs into Spots, who, thinking him the detective, bids him sit down and have a smoke. Mrs. Largo, spying Bumtone, rushes upon him, grabs him by the ear, leads him over to her house and bids him to do his best. Bumtone knocks the piano over, causing it to crash through the floor to the basement. Mrs. Largo, horrified, chases him down the street and again runs into Spyer. Thinking she is seeing things, she decides she had better consult a doctor. Professor Pounderalloutski and Viola Tremolo meantime call and finding the door open, go in to amuse themselves upon the piano till their hostess returns.
