Synopsis:


Charlie is an assistant to the head carpenter at a movie studio, and does all the heavy work while his boss relaxes. Charlie gets no recognition for his work, since his boss thinks he's lazy. Charlie promises to help a girl, who has sneaked into the studio to get a part in the movies. Dressed like a carpenter the girl gets a job working next to Charlie. Charlie flirts with the girl and his boss catches him kissing "him". The other workers go on strike because of the horrible treatment, but Charlie is only interested in his lady love.
