Musician Max Tooney goes to sell his prized Conn trumpet to a music shop, where he plays the instrument one last time.

Danny Boodman, a coal-man from the boiler room, names the boy Danny Boodman T. D. Lemon 1900, after himself, the fruit crate the boy was found in, and the year, and raises him as his own.
