Filmy is decidedly absent-minded on account of this, with the result that he puts a feature film on the screen backward, for which he gets the "bounce." He then gets a job as cameraman with a local producer, but instead of taking local flower show he takes a policeman spooning with a servant maid, then some lovers in the park, and finally wanders into Lord Montgomery's grounds, and takes his lordship spooning with the cook. "I will give you 5,000 pounds to destroy that film. If my wife sees it, I am ruined," says the lord. Filmy accepts and Stella's pa willingly accepts Filmy as a son-in-law with his newly acquired wealth. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
