He turns up at [[ChekhovsGunman the end of the short]] and destroys the player piano in a fit of rage - only to learn from his wife that it was intended as his present.

The short itself depicts Stanley Laurel and Oliver Hardy as delivery men attempting to carry a large, heavy player piano up a long flight of stairs, and [[EpicFail failing spectacularly]] several times. Once they finally do get the piano up the stairs they have even more trouble getting it into the house they're delivering it to. And to top it all off, the recipient of the piano is someone Laurel and Hardy angered while bringing it up the long flight of stairs, and was unaware he was getting a piano because his wife bought it as a surprise. He is not thrilled to see Laurel and Hardy invading his home and making a nice mess of things.
