Twinkles and Sanford were talking with Thomas the Octopus, who missed hearing music since the showboat had left. Thomas mentioned he could play an instrument, and Sanford boasted about being the world's greatest musician. Twinkles suggested they start their own band, with Sanford teaching everyone how to play. They gathered their friends, picked out instruments, and gave a concert on the beach that very afternoon. When the music began, it sounded terrible except for Thomas's flute. Twinkles whispered an idea, and the band closed the curtain; moments later, a beautiful march played from behind it. The audience soon discovered that Thomas was playing all the instruments at once with his eight arms, becoming a one-man musical band!
