Mutt is an opportunist, also a singer (so he thinks) and decides to join the operatic field. Jeff's aspirations are laughed to scorn by Mutt, who alone and swaggering goes to the Opera House. Here, the stage hands have considerable fun with the lanky chap, and when the musical director tries his voice, Oh! Oy! Oy! Fortunately for Mutt, an untrained ear is wanted to try the voices of applicants, and he gets the job. Jeff, feeling pretty sore, sallies forth bent on getting a job for himself. On meeting an actorine friend of his, he is overjoyed to hear that her manager is looking for singers. Would Jeff apply for a posish? Would he? Mutt tries Jeff's voice, and of course he finds it "rotten." The musical director, however, believes otherwise and almost goes "dippy" over Jeff's high C. The tables are turned. Mutt is promoted to do sweeping, while Jeff is engaged at a large salary as leading tenor of the Doughpolitan Opera Company. The manager gladly obliges him with a liberal advance, and Jeff, with his actress friend, goes out to celebrate the event. Outside of the stage door, they almost run into poor Mutt industriously sweeping the sidewalk. Such are the mysterious workings of Fate! Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
