A young man
visiting Hollywood on family business gets into trouble when he sees a bank
robbery in progress, and thinks it is a movie scene.
A California
family receives a notice that they must make a payment immediately, or else be forced
out of their home. The payment must be made at an office in Hollywood, and so
Grandpa, his granddaughter, and his grandson Orville all go together, full of
excitement at the chance to see some movie stars. Grandpa misses the train,
leaving the other two to continue alone. Once in Hollywood, they pass by a bank
robbery in progress, which Orville mistakes for a movie scene. He rushes into
the action, and is taken by one of the holdup gang, who leaves him unconscious
and dressed like a woman in the room of a hotel detective. This creates
considerable difficulty and embarrassment both for Orville and for the
detective.
