He decides to purchase a drama, produce it and play it on Broadway. He engages a company of capable performers, but through the misunderstanding of two of the actresses the company go on a strike, and refuse to work. His booking agent emphatically tells him he will not furnish him with any more talent. The stage hands of the theater McGrath has purchased come to his assistance, by declaring that they will take the parts. After several unfortunate rehearsals the play is produced. The scrub woman as the leading lady creates a furor, while the janitor of the building in the costume of a dashing young blonde ingénue creates the laugh entertainment of the performance. The audience at the opening night proclaims the show a huge success, while the critics in the morning papers declare the show to be a riot. Billy McGrath, with his fortune assured, smiles at the defeat of his striking performers and his reluctant booking agent. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
