Synopsis
An unemployed bass player, meets Cleo, a lovely young woman, at a cabin in the country. Because Cleo's clothes were eaten by a goat while she was swimming, the bassist agrees to carry her home in his bass case. On the way to Cleo's house, the bass player is sidetracked and Cleo hitches a ride on a hay wagon. Meanwhile, the bassist sees his bass in a pawnshop, where the thief pawned it, but when he attempts to retrieve it, the pawnbroker accuses him of robbery. The men are taken to court, where a judge hears their case. As Cleo testifies on the bass player's behalf, her father enters the courtroom and accuses him of sullying his daughter's honor. The judge orders the bassist to take his punishment and then sentences him to marry Cleo.

Notes
The plot for this film was obtained from the NYSA. The New York State censors rejected the film for exhibition on the grounds that it was "indecent and would tend to corrupt morals." Contemporary reviews compared Savo to silent clown Charlie Chaplin. According to a May 1934 Hollywood Reporter news item, this film was director Eugene Frenke's first American picture. An unidentified contemporary source notes that Universal purchased the foreign distribution rights to the film.
