Burbank's friend, McCullom, a movie magnate, proposes to stage a spectacular flying stunt by a young aviator, Joe Bennett who has applied for a job in the movies, and offers a prize to any amateur who will make .a parachute jump. Jim Carter, Harold's busybody 9 9 friend, seizes on this as the young man's op- portunity to make good and devises various ali- bis which will prevent his actually going up, while gaining the credit for bravery. One by one these alibis fail, and Harold, gets more and more deeply involved. Finally he is for- ced to go through with it in spite of himself and by a comic fluke manages to maintain his 9 reputation as a dare-devil, to gain the enthus- iastic approval of Burbank, and to win the girl of his choice.
