Traveling musician refuses route and sings for pennies
A wandering musician visits a circuit court office in Burlington seeking to sing for travel funds. He pushes his own version of The Sweet Bye and Bye and clashes with the clerk who prefers livelier tunes like Old Dan Tucker. The exchange ends with his stubborn offer to perform for ten cents while insisting on his chosen song.
