In a Dutch kitchen, the girl on the right and the boy with the salt shaker just so happen to be in love with each other. The two dance and the girl sitting on the blue plate joins in with them. An nefarious looking vinegar bottle comes near them holding the mortgage in hand. The boy is left with only 30 minutes before he can get the money. When he arrives at his piggy bank he finds that there is only one cent in it. He sees his pa's teeth are on the wall and they have gold teeth; the boy uses a firecracker and plans to set them free; and then return. But in the meantime, his girl has been strapped to a board inside a grandfather clock that's about be cut in half. He is able to set her free, and proceeds to pummel the vinegar bottle. The vinegar bottle finds a much better looking head and goes after the girl.

In a Dutch kitchen, a girl on a plate on a shelf and a salt shaker boy are in love. Various kitchen appliances are singing. The boy jumps to the shelf and dances with the girl. Eventually, a nefarious vinegar landlord bottle arrives holding the mortgage. He threatens to kick the girl out of the windmill house. The boy is left with thirty minutes to get the money and the cuckoo bird will announce when time is up. When he arrives at his piggy bank, he finds that there is only one cent in it. He sees his pa's false teeth are on a shelf, and they have gold teeth; the boy uses a firecracker to knock the gold teeth out. However, the clock runs past midnight and the boy doesn't return in time. The landlord takes the girl inside a grandfather clock and straps her to a board that's about be cut in half by the gears. The boy hears her cry for help, and he rescues her while also pummeling the vinegar landlord. However, after having his old stopper head punched off, the vinegar bottle finds a much better looking head and the girl is more attracted to the landlord than the boy now. The cuckoo bird also has enough of the Indian hitting his head and shoots him repeatedly with a gun before cuckooing again normally.

Plot

In a Dutch kitchen, a girl on a plate on a shelf and a salt shaker boy are in love. Various kitchen appliances are singing. The boy jumps to the shelf and dances with the girl. Eventually, a nefarious vinegar landlord bottle arrives holding the mortgage. He threatens to kick the girl out of the windmill house. The boy is left with thirty minutes to get the money and the cuckoo bird will announce when time is up. When he arrives at his piggy bank, he finds that there is only one cent in it. He sees his pa's false teeth are on a shelf, and they have gold teeth; the boy uses a firecracker to knock the gold teeth out. However, the clock runs past midnight and the boy doesn't return in time. The landlord takes the girl inside a grandfather clock and straps her to a board that's about be cut in half by the gears. The boy hears her cry for help, and he rescues her while also pummeling the vinegar landlord. However, after having his old stopper head punched off, the vinegar bottle finds a much better looking head and the girl is more attracted to the landlord than the boy now. The cuckoo bird also has enough of the Indian hitting his head and shoots him repeatedly with a gun before cuckooing again normally.
