When Nutt wakes up from his peaceful slumbers in a spaghetti restaurant he is rather surprised to find a fox trot, that is, the music of one, on his shirt front. An absent-minded female composer, getting an inspiration, and lacking paper, has transcribed her thoughts on Nutt's manly bosom. But then when Nutt awoke from his troubled dreams and walked off with the shirt her melody was lost. After playing it over a few times Nutt finds it a real "foot tickler," he just can't make his feet behave. The composer trails Nutt and demands her brain child. They arrive at the laundress' just in time to see the shirt, with its precious burden, wallowing in suds, but Rastus, "the fox trot kid," remembers the tune and plays it for them on the old mouth organ. All is harmonious once more and Nutt captures the heart of the composer. His shirt has been framed and now hangs in a conspicuous position in their home as a constant reminder of their romantic meeting. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
