Synopsis: [The Moving Picture World, 21 February 1925, page ?] Bobby appears as an artist who goes through a lot of exciting experiences. His rival ruins the picture he is painting, his tailor takes his trousers for an unpaid bill. He borrows the janitor's and is chucked out of a restaurant to which he takes his girl. Deciding to commit suicide he goes on top of the steel framework of a new building and comes very near falling several times, but finally finds himself back on the ground. Next he hires a gunman who uses various disguises, such as a postman, an old woman, etc., and every time Bobby sees anyone dressed like this he is in mortal fear. Finally he tries to get away and lands on a target out in the ocean used for battleship practice. In the meantime his girl doctors up the painting and sells it. Then there is a chase to get hold of him and prevent the gunman from doing his work.
