The two try most of the film the pianola dragging up the stairs, which failed several times. So they are hampered by a child care with a stroller, a police officer and a certain Professor von Schwarzenhoffen, who dislikes pianolas.

After the the two laboriously worked the pianola get finally over, it appears that there all this time just a road to the House up to the backside of the Hill. They had to save themselves the trouble. Within another unpleasant surprise awaits them; the House where they must deliver the pianola is of Professor von Schwarzenhoffen, which absolutely is not happy to see the two again. He is about to destroy the pianola with an axe, when his wife enters and tells that they have ordered the pianola as a birthday gift for him. Von Schwarzenhoffen spontaneously changes his opinion of pianolas, but Laurel and Hardy he hunts with violence from his house. ==Division Of Roles[ Edit] == ==Background<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Location<span class="mw-editsection" len="327" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === Street name sign of the staircase<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The famous staircase from The Music Box, located in Los Angeles, still exists and is often visited by many Laurel & Hardy fans.
