A drummer on a big band is having trouble with his time. He keeps getting behind the beat and the band members are getting fed up and go to the leader and say he should be fired.
However, the leader says he's known the guy forever, he's always been a good drummer, and he'll talk to the him and see what the problem is.
He goes to the drummer who admits he's having problems and says he's working on it and to please not fire him.
But things just get worse. He keeps slowing down the beat and coming in late. Finally, the whole band threatens to quit so the leader has no choice but to fire him.
The drummer is so depressed that he goes down to the railroad tracks and throws himself behind a train.
