Plot
As described in a film magazine, ironworker Chuck McCarthy (Stone) loves Molly O'Connors (Greenwood), a stenographer for the Filmcraft Studio. While working near an open stage of the studio, Chuck decides to become a motion picture star. He rescues a pet monkey belonging to Bijou Lamour (Rhea Mitchell), the leading lady of the company, and is signed to "double" for her in a skating scene. He forgets himself and in another scene whips a half dozen "Germans" in a war film. Finally, he is cast to double for Marmaduke X. Caruthers (McCullough), who refuses to ride a horse in a western film. Chuck falls off the horse and is badly injured. Caruthers is lionized for his bravery while Chuck is nursed back to health by Molly, and he decides to give up his screen career. He receives a check for $1,000 from the studio and uses it to pay off Molly's mortgage.
