Abner Goode (William Fables), a small-town minister, discharges the church choir and journeys to New York City to hire a new one. He wanders into a movie studio. He greatly resembles the film's property man, Johnnie "Props" Swift (William Fables), who has gone away on an errand, and the director thinks Abner is "Props". Misfortune comes rapidly to the Rev. Abner; he thinks the film's leading lady, Winnie Saum (Amy Dennis), is really going to her death in a sawmill scene, and stops the machinery, much to the dismay of the director, Bilo Mennett (Patrick Carson). Finally his blundering results in the entire studio becoming demoralized and all work coming to a halt. He is about to be assaulted by the director when "Props" makes his return and Abner makes his escape.
