Working in a speakeasy isn't proving profitable to Krazy, who has to shorten his cash register in the opening scene. His Minnie-Mouselike girlfriend is easily coaxed away to a goat customer who seems to have nice baubles. Krazy sobs out a stanza of "BROKEN HEARTED" at his keyboard. Suddenly, a gun toting robber comes in and starts to shake down the customers, with the aid of a vacuum cleaner. Krazy and his piano go into action, and subdue the thief, wrapping him in a bullet-hole ridden table cloth that becomes a player piano roll, playing "YOU ARE THE CAT'S MEOW".
