He gets the idea by seeing a "movie nut" studying his part in the park. Jerry secures the scenario, returns to his lodging place, sweeps aside demands of the landlady and her husband for rent due, goes to his room, where he finds a sympathetic soul in the slavey. Together they rehearse a tragic scene. They rant and storm so loudly as to attract the attention of the landlord. He looks over the transom just as Jerry is stabbing the heroine. He calls the police, saying a murder was being committed. The officers throw open the door and all fall into the room. Jerry nimbly jumps over their prostrate forms, locks the door and goes off to apply for a job as an actor in the movies. Although last in line of applicants when he reaches the studio, he manipulates matters so that he is first when the assistant director appears looking for types. He is accepted by the director and cast for a policeman. And here is where the fun starts in earnest. Jerry knows all about the motion picture producing business, in his mind. His good-natured conceit not only gets him into all sorts of trouble, but the mess he makes of the scenes and the wreck he causes, not counting the ruining of several hundred feet of film, and the utter demoralization of the company, from director to property man, is a succession of screams.
