Hank, while professing love for the farmer's daughter "falls" for the leading lady. She repels Hank. He becomes enraged when he sees Jerry making love to his girl. Hank's jealousy finds expression in a fast fist fight. Hank is fired by the farmer, but Jerry promises him a job in a movie company provided he will drive him to town. Hank agrees, but insists that his girl elope with him. They leave for the city. Hank and the daughter take rooms in a tenement. Jerry calls on daughter during Hank's absence and she cries for food. Hank returns with sandwiches. Jerry hides under the table; a cough betrays him, and Hank opens fire with a big revolver. Police are attracted by the shots and Hank is jailed, while Jerry offers his protection to the daughter. The whole action is just a few scenes of a picture in the making. The camera is rolled back, showing the director congratulating the cast for their good work. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
