It is a rainy morning, and only a few of the motion picture actors arrive at the Vogue Studio. Waterfalls in torrents on the stage, and the drenched actors file into the studio grounds. The leading woman, the leading man and the camera man are late. The manager calls up the leading woman on the phone, and she refuses to go to the studio unless they send a car for her. Out into the streets filled with water goes the auto. She is called for and delivered to the studio, but refuses to leave the car unless she is provided with an umbrella. The property room and dressing rooms are turned upside down to find an umbrella but none is forthcoming. Finally, the resourceful property man plays "Sir Walter Raleigh" and lays his overcoat down for the leading woman to alight on from the auto. Now that the company is assembled, the director arranges the set and starts the action. A dramatic scene is taken when the leading man saves the leading woman from the clutches of the villain, the starving chee-ild is fed, and when the director asks the footage of the scene, he learns that the cameraman forgot to put any film into the camera. The ill-fated director was revived when he learned that the sun was coming out.
