After a rest Timothy and Jenkins set out for one of the large studios. After strolling about the grounds he meets a line of men who are awaiting to get in and work extra. From their talk he learns that they hold tickets that will admit them to the "promised land." He offers one of the men $2 for his ticket and the man almost has heart failure hurrying to take the offer. The extras are cast for work in a Roman picture. The action is started and the extras told how to carry their parts. But the director's theory of how to carry out the scene and that of Timothy's are not the same. Naturally the director's idea is to have the hero rescue the heroine. Timothy being quite confident in his powers, decides to play the hero himself and the director has one spasm after another in trying to start the picture right. At last the scene is about finished. The extra men rush in and the hero starts "killing" them. Timothy will not die in spite of the curses and pleading of the director and his assistants for him to die. At last he does die, and with a sigh of relief the director and his men start for Timothy with blood in their eyes. Jenkins has seen the way things are happening and valiantly comes to the escape. He picks Timothy up bodily and carries him to safety. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
