A young leading actor saves a youth's life, by catching him just in time to save him from what might reasonably he a fatal fall over a precipice, and to reward him the young man promises to intercede with the father of the girl who causes the actor chap sundry heart throbs and a little soul-anguish. But all good intentions do not materialize, and the young man falls in his ambassadorial mission. The summer comes on, and to fill in the time the actor decides to apply for a position in a moving picture studio. While he is making the eternal vow to a girl in the scene, he is detected by his sweetheart, and is renounced forever. In still another scene, his friend whose life he had saved discovers him tied to a tree, soon to be burned to death. He borrows a shotgun and starts to shoot everybody to save his friend from what purports to be a horrible death. After the excitement subsides, the actor explains that he is simply posing for the pictures. Things commence to go right again, as things do when they tire of going wrong. It appears that the father's refusal to consent to his daughter's marriage is based on the fact that the girl has an older and ugly sister, who is unable to secure a lover or a husband; so as a reward for having saved his life, the young man offers to marry the sister, so that the actor can marry "the sister's" sister. The wedding bells send forth a double peal, and four that are but two face this crazy old world for better or for worse, 'till death do them part. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
