Stan and Ollie are performers in one of those bands that used to play concerts in the park on Sundays. After about a reel of messing that up, there's a short intermission in the action, until they get thrown out of their boarding house. They decide to go into business for themselves as street musicians.
It's a solid comedy for the first half, with some nice manhole jokes and visual puns, but it's the finale that makes this one of the best of the silent L&H shorts. Stan and Ollie get to scrapping, and then others interfere.... to their sorrow. It's beautifully paced to end on a high note.
