The barbershop quartet Fred organizes to advertise "Soft Soap" is a bathtub quartet, because Barney can carry a tune only when he's in the tub.

Fred tries out for a Major League Baseball team. Fred is injured during his tryout while his friend Roger Marble (an animated caricature of Roger Maris) takes over for him. When Roger is picked, he is mistaken for Fred who after much pressure comes clean.
