- Chuck McCarthy, an intrepid young ironworker, longs to become an actor, despite the protests of his girl, Molly O'Connors, and his family. In dashing up the frame of a building to catch actress Bijou Lamour's runaway pet monkey, he attracts the attention of the studio managers, who make him a stuntman. For a time Charles is happy executing life-risking feats and strutting around in new clothes, although the company laughs at him behind his back. When leading man Marmaduke X. Caruthers refuses to perform a particularly dangerous stunt in a war film, Chuck doubles for him and is seriously injured. The studio manager, who recognizes in the incident an opportunity to promote his star, quickly wraps Marmaduke in bandages and sends him to the hospital, while Chuck is secretly removed through the back door. The next day, the Filmcraft Company sends Chuck a check for $1,000 to keep quiet about the accident. He and Molly use the money on their honeymoon to Niagara Falls.—AFI
- Chuck McCarthy is a stunt double for movie actor Marmaduke X. Caruthers, and as such suffers all the indignities and injuries that the public thinks are being overcome by Caruthers. Chuck is in love with Marmaduke's leading lady, but even there it seems that Chuck must watch as Marmaduke takes the prize that rightfully should be Chuck's.—Jim Beaver <jumblejim@prodigy.net>
