A lighthearted animated comedy about a radio orchestra rehearsal gone charmingly wrong, built entirely on slapstick humor and the triumph of audience joy over sponsor expectations.

Mickey guest-directs a radio orchestra. The sponsor loves the rehearsal, but come the actual performance, Goofy drops all the instruments under an elevator, so they sound like toys. The sponsor hates it, but the audience loves it anyway.
