After deciding to reorganize their finances, Laurel and Hardy go into the delivery business. Their first assignment is hauling a player piano up a monumental flight of stairs to 1127 Walnut Avenue. While trying to maneuver the crated piano up those stairs they encounter a maid (Lilyan Irene) with a baby buggy, an insulting policeman (Sam Lufkin) and a distinguished but belligerent gentleman (Professor Theodore von Schwarzenhoffen (Billy Gilbert).
But the biggest problem is the force of gravity, which repeatedly pulls the piano back down to the bottom of the stairs. On the way up, the two manage to get soaked, electrocuted and, of course, to wreck the whole house.
