When Dorothy Devore chases her dog into a burning building, the guys making a film decide they would make a good stuntwoman. Between her unthinking nature and wandering pooch, she fouls up some elaborate takes. Meanwhile some crooks are planning on using a location shoot to rob a bank, and Miss Devore's fiancé, Henry Murdock, keeps trying to break into the studio so they can go get married.

Some of the set-up look primitive for 1923 - interiors are being shot on an open lot - but between Miss Devore's willingness to play a goof, and Murdock's being thrown out in various ways, this is a very funny little short.
