Description by Studio

George Dewey Washington plays a cotton plantation hand who moves to Harlem to avoid heavy work, but finds that the only job available to him is with a moving company where he has to do just as much lifting and lugging. Washington was one of the few black performers of his day who travelled on the white vaudeville circuit.
