But as they eagerly reach out to grab them, she tosses the coins into the top of the fountain, out of reach, much to their dismay. She then tunes the violin and begins to play it like a true virtuoso, prompting a passing pedestrian to drop a large bag of gold coins onto her cup.Įlated, Tippy hugs the bag and approaches the fountain, but not before she pulls two coins out of her bag and tempts Treble and Bass. When both musicians come up empty handed, Tippy insists she take one of Treble's violins and Bass's iron cup in an attempt to get her money back by playing solo. Heartbroken, Tippy sniffles, but then angrily demands from Treble and Bass a replacement coin for the one they made her lose. As the two rivals unleash their arsenal of musical weapons, trying to vie for the attention (or rather, the tip) of Tippy, the girl cowers in their wild musical cacophony, and in the process, accidentally drops her sole gold coin, which falls down a drain and gets lost in the sewers of the village. Not to be outdone, Bass ups his ante, with Treble daring to take it even further. Treble, a suave and flamboyant street performer, plays a more attractive song, effectively stealing Tippy's attention, much to the anger of Bass. Just when Tippy is about to drop the coin into Bass's cup, a newcomer steps onto the scene.
Bass, seizing the opportunity, immediately plays an impromptu piece, capturing the young girl's attention. Soon, he spots Tippy, a humble and peasant girl clutching a big gold coin, with the intention of dropping it in the piazza fountain to make a wish. Bass, a skilled and proud street performer, plays a routine tune in a deserted Italian village square in the afternoon, waiting for a pedestrian to tip him in his rusty iron cup.
