Musty becomes a carpenter's assistant. He decides that a twin brother would be a great help to him in his work, so he makes one out of wood. Thrown out of the shop, Musty and the dummy break into a girls' tea party with startling results. Of course, in the end, our hero gets very much the worst of it.
