action
A living room: a small one-man brass orchestra figure , just taken out of its packaging, looks around with delight. A short time later a baby crawls into the room and the enthusiasm for the toy changes when the baby bites into play rings and breaks a chain in front of his eyes. The male wants to flee unnoticed, but his mechanics make music noises with every step. The baby becomes aware of the male and follows him. The male manages to escape under a couch. All the other toy figures are already gathered here, trembling with fear.
When the baby falls down on the hunt for the toy and begins to cry, the male takes pity and returns from his hiding place and draws attention to himself by making music. The baby, however, now plays with the packaging of the male and the shopping bag and finally stumbles out of the room - pursued by the persistently music-making male.
