...wintry morning pretty, ineffectual Marcia Ward opened her door to a pale, grey-eyed peddler who promptly took charge of the household. Beginning by baking a pie despite Marcia's protests, the peddler, whose name was Hannah Parmalee and who was obviously a cultivated woman beneath her dowdy exterior, launched a series of domestic reforms that saved the harassed Ward family. She cleaned out the basement and sold the unused furniture for $39. She found a cheaper way of buying coal. She persuaded little Wallie Ward to take his castor oil.

Raphael, the well known concertina player, has, under his French plumber's exterior, the soul and talent of the lighter and more dazzling classics which stop the show for numerous encores. The Rocky brothers dance lightly and spiritedly with their comely partner, Helen Gray, and Pils and Tabet sing several very funny songs with delightful zest. The musical backround is provided by Iza Volpin...
