Maud finally gives birth to her child, but prospective father Arnie is nowhere to be seen at the hospital. That is because he is preoccupied by doing two films at once, a comedy short for Corky Brown and Max Legendre's ambitious romantic adventure story about a highwayman. Unfortunately Max's film is running over budget, and they are further lumbered with celebrated theatrical actress Gwendoline Harper, who proves not as young as they thought and every bit as temperamental as Max. Needing money to keep the business afloat and the bank reluctant to grant a loan, Arnie has an idea how they may get the extra capital - only this involves persuading the abandoned Letty to return to work for him.
