In this fictional-story short (which takes Self listings out of the equation), George Stoll (as Georgie Stoll) and his hot-swing band, and the band's singer, Virginia Dale, are in the Globe Broadcasting Co. building hoping to get an audition. Recognizing the president of the radio company, Royal C. Cummings (Maurice Cass), as he enters the elevator, Stoll and band members, with their instruments, enter it with him. They toss out the operator and proceed to audition for the outraged Cummings, while making many up-and-down trips on the elevator. Once off the elevator he summons the police who promptly arrive and mistakenly arrest the studio orchestra. Georgie Stoll (as he was most frequently billed) and his band get the gig as their replacement, and a contract. The singing of Virginia Dale (nee Virginia Paxton) didn't hurt their chances any at all.
