Smilax, who witnesses his plight and pleads for his release. He then takes Jerry to his home and introduces him to his family. His daughter, the head of an amateur theatrical society, recognizes in Jerry the very type required for a part in a play which they are to produce, and prevails upon the director to enroll his services. At rehearsals Jerry is the center of attraction but particularly so in the case of an angular old maid who is quite effusive in expressing her regard for Jerry and his accomplishments. On the night of the performance the house is crowded. Jerry is stricken with stage fright, much to the delight of the audience, whom a policeman attempts to silence by mounting the stage and addressing them. Jerry has a natural antipathy for policemen, and the actions of this particular one being especially displeasing, he gives vent to his feelings with the result that the officer lands heavily in the drum head. Jerry's fellow players, in their efforts to straighten out matters, turn the stage into a scene of unrehearsed excitement, which is quelled only when officers take Jerry to a safe cell in the station.
