| Plot Summary |
Fatty, the featured actor of a motion picture company, is dining in a restaurant when he sees a party of girls watching him, and decides to give them a treat. He sends a card, on which is written, "I am featured at the Bazoo." Then he goes grandly out, trusting them to follow, which they do. He takes up a prominent position at the box office of the theater and watches the nickels as they go in. First on the screen is the "Cuckoo Weekly," with battle scenes "Nowhere in France," and the launching of the Dreadnothing, guaranteed to do 470 knots perhaps, in which the bottle of champagne crashes through the hull. Then come the latest styles from "Vug," which close the weekly. Then comes the feature film, "Sunshine and Shadows." Egbert calls on his sweetheart, Gladys, little dreaming that a vulture is following. Desmond the villain is scheming to possess the maiden. He goes to work to get the mortgage on her home, and then force her father to give him the girl. Egbert is outmaneuvered and the villain seizes the girl. So he goes to the side of the stream to commit his body to the waters. The villain's cigarette sets fire to the house and the smoke is blown to Fatty. He suspects the trouble. He rescues the girl. As the picture runs its course, Fatty is seated in the audience between the two charmers and explaining the fine points, leading the applause at the thrilling places.
