Nellie Richman, whose father has so much money it hurts him to carry it, is trying to learn to drive a new car. The chauffeur gets out for something, and Nellie, fooling with the levers, starts the car. She yells for help, and the car careens down the road. Timothy is crossing the street, and the car hits him. It is not a case of heroics, but necessity, that causes him to cling to the machine, and trying to get away, he pulls the emergency brake and stops the car. He is hailed by the crowd as a hero, and Nellie insists on taking him home to meet papa. Papa is much interested in movies, and is almost begging someone to take his money. Timothy interests him, and wanting to show his appreciation, Richman offers to give him work at five thousand per week, and let him manage the concern. Timothy airily tells him to postpone the discussion until the morrow, as he wants to think it over. He makes a strong impression upon his new friends. By strategy, Timothy gets in the gate, and his usual luck attending him, secures a part in a picture. It is a boob part, and he is splendid in it. Then the director decides to use him in a hero part, and Timothy makes a failure of the whole thing. Nellie and her father have called at the studio to look around and see him. At first his nonchalant air charms them, but finally they see what a sorry actor he really is, and give him the "go-by." Richman has brought the contract and tried to get Timothy to sign it when he first came, but Timothy, wishing to show off, declined. Richman now tears the contract into bits and Timothy, thrown off the stage, lands where the bits are scattered. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
