Synopsis

Schmitte, the leader of a street hand is the proud father of Florence whose love is eagerly sought after by Plump and Runt, both members of the band. The fickle Florence not caring for either one, as her affections are centered around Harry Hick, determines to create trouble between Plump and Runt by deliberately making love to Runt. Inflamed by jealousy when he sees his little rival cuddled up in Florence's arms, Plump chases Runt out of the apartment by the aid of his bass horn. During their day's work on the streets the band is invited by a kind-hearted saloon keeper to refresh themselves at his bar. He tells them that they can have all the liquid refreshment that their musical instruments will hold. This delights Plump who is the possessor of the bass horn, but infuriates Runt who plays the clarinet, hence he is unable to get enough beer to even wet his lips. Chagrined by this experience Runt enlists the aid of his fellow bandsmen with the exception of Plump and serenades Florence...
