Not wanting to start on a sour note, Ollie says they must complete the job and carry it up the stairs. Three hours later a knock on the door reveals they are in the wrong building. They carry it back downstairs to the lobby and find the elevator is now working. Exhausted, they throw a rope over a high flagpole on the correct building and use their truck to pull the piano up. Stan gets out of the truck to check the rope, but with the weight decreased, the truck is pulled up in the air by the heavy piano. The customer arrives and complains that the rope is scratching his piano and demands Stan cut it off. When he does, Ollie and the truck plummet down onto the customer's car. As they beat a hasty retreat, they drive over the piano, and Stan suggests maybe they should go into the wrecking business.
