When Pietro becomes engrossed in the practice of a soulful selection. Percy employs a German street band to serenade the Hobbs home, to the great distress of the temperamental visitor, Pietro. Finally, by threats and bribes, the "tooters" are driven away. Then Percy hires a "hurdy-gurdy" that does its worst to disconcert him, so that Pietro is almost thrown into hysterics. This noise-maker is bribed away; then Percy plays his last card, with a woman organ-grinder and a diminutive monkey. This is too much for the temperamental Pietro. He, himself, rushes out to drive the woman and monkey away, when the woman throws her arms about him, and declares he is her long-lost husband. This as a particularly happy hit for Percy. He finds out that she was deserted in Italy and has made a fruitless search in America, and the monkey was really a business partner of Pietro. Meanwhile, poor Miss Hobbs is torn by her emotions and Pietro again seeks sanctuary in her home. Percy turns the monkey loose that leaps through an open window and takes affectionate possession of its former master. This is the final blow and appears to cinch the evidence on the pianist, so that he is dismissed from the Hobbs home. Percy wins the young lady for his persistence and ingenuity.
