Plot

While buying a snack at a concession stand, Harold encounters a pretty girl (Bebe). Harold is smitten with her. While the oblivious Bebe is walking to her waiting car, she accidentally drops a letter. Harold sees the letter fall, picks it up, and tries to return it to her. However, Bebe has already shut the car door and the vehicle begins to drive away. Harold latches on to the outside of the car which goes to a movie studio where the girl is employed as an actress. Harold, with some difficulty, manages to sneak into the studio among a group of male extras. Harold is mistaken for a stage hand and causes considerable damage to some props. He also accidentally disrupts the scenes being shot on several sets. Just as Harold is about to be chased from the studio, he sees Bebe and returns the letter to her. He drops to his knees to propose to her, but the letter to Bebe is a love missive from her beau. Chagrined, Harold scurries out of the studio still in a kneeling position.
