Keller Mack and Frank Orth make a happy combination in this new sketch "The Wrong Hero." This well constructed sketch has a good line of comedy and songs. Orth plays a doctor who is visited by Mack who claims to be a sick man. Orth is talking over the phone and is informed that the hero who just rescued his son his on his way. Of course Mack enters and is mistaken for the hero. The two burst into music and song with Orth at the piano. Mack sings three or four new songs which prove to be an instant success. Together they perform the big comedy number, "Follow Me." At the end the real hero arrives.
The boys could have continued their act for the house kept on calling for more.
Mack and Orth work as if they have been together for years.
