 Charlie Beary tries to relax but is unaware of a cricket loose in the house. He hears a squeak coming from Bessie s vacuum cleaner, Suzy s doll, and Junior s saxophone. He applies oil to each item. He eventually finds the real source of the squeak, the cricket, and angrily chases it using a bathroom plunger and a baseball bat to help capture it. The result leaves him in bandages but at least things are quiet once more... for a while, at least.
