16

Keaton meets a piano composer named Robert Fenders, whose father Lord Fenders has declared bankruptcy from his business two years ago. Lord Fenders was forced to sell all of his property and possessions in order to pay out an insurance claim. Robert is glad about this because he was kicked out of the mansion ten years ago due to his ambitions. Lord Fenders frequently visits the site of the mansion, where he once burned Robert's piano composition near an age-old elm. In a bar, Robert tells Keaton that Lord Fenders always watches the elm, which was struck by lightning prior to losing his business. Robert further explains that his motivation as a piano composer came from his hatred for Lord Fenders's arrogance and pompousness. However, Robert has now lost his passion as a piano composer since Lord Fenders has become more reserved. Lord Fenders later declines a business proposition from Mr. Greenpark, who then confirms to Keaton and Robert that Lord Fenders has changed. Keaton encourages Robert to restore the elm back to its former glory. Keaton and Greenpark invite Lord Fenders to a restaurant, where Robert plays a performance on stage. Lord Fenders, becoming nostalgic of the tune, returns to the mansion and looks at the elm. Once Keaton and Robert arrive, Lord Fenders shows them that the elm is growing new buds in the ground as a sign of renewal. Lord Fenders plans to accept Greenpark's business proposition, leaving Robert with encouraging words to continue his ambitions. (Source: Wikipedia)
