She decides to become a movie queen; Bill has also caught the infection and believes that he will be a matinee idol someday. A proud hour it is for Bill's wife when a picture company gets her permission to take a picture of the front of her house. A wadding from one of the actor's revolvers hits Bill and when he hears a volley he imagines that a riot has broken out and drives the company away. His wife explains and the director remains for dinner. Bill makes love to a boarder who is a movie queen and she tells him he should go in the movies. The director engages the wife to pose and Billie impersonates a dummy to get into the studio. He breaks up numerous scenes and has many exciting adventures. The studio is soon in a turmoil. Wild excitement and humorous mishaps ensue. Finally Bill and his wife are blown up in the air by an accidental explosion. When they land outside the studio walls they decide studio life is too exciting and decide to return to the boarding-house and never enter a studio again.
