She learns that the Titan Motion Picture company is paying $5 a day for motion picture "extra" girls. She applies to James Montague, director, and is accepted, and is given an unimportant role in a "movie" thriller, which that gentleman is to film the following day. The hour arrives and Jenny is on hand. Among other members of the company is Buck Parvin, the cowboy. Buck begs to be excused for water. Montague, however, is insistent, and Bucks puts in a goodly supply of guaranteed remedies for sea-sickness. The company is transported to an old hull far out from shore, on which some scenes are to be taken. In accordance with the director's script, Ben Leslie sets fire to the boat. The eye of the camera is trained, and all aboard are told to jump. All comply with two exceptions. One of these is Buck, who has been overcome with sea-sickness. The other is Jennie, who cannot swim, and who fears to follow Montague's insistent instructions to jump. But she needs the $5 and with a shriek she leaps. Then the deep, dark ocean waters close over her flaxen curls, and she is lost from sight. She comes to surface shrieking. Buck sees her plight, and plunges to her rescue. Bravely he struggles with the drowning girl, and at length drags her to safety. But, through his heroism Buck loses one of his most cherished possessions, a pair of highly ornamented boots, which were dear to his cowboy heart. Charles Dupree has got every action of Buck's thrilling rescue, which proves much more thrilling than that which has been conceived by the director. Buck assists Jennie to her home, where he is rudely rebuffed by Jennie's mother. "Oh, well, such is life in motion pictures," sighs Buck. Then he carelessly saunters to Montague's office and there bewails the loss of his boots. Montague hands the big cowboy an envelope. Buck peeks and discovers a $50 check made out to Buck Parvin. Attached is a memorandum, which reads, "In token of appreciation for saving the picture." It is signed by James Montague. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
