The opening of the picture shows the artist (James Montgomery Flagg) equipped with his pencil paraphernalia commencing his work of sketching in various moods a young woman seated in front of him to whom he relates the story of the character for which she is to pose. Then follows the film version of the story in which the screen fan in the shape of a pretty young woman sits in the front row at the theater, her countenance reflecting colorfully the tragedy of the screen. In due time aspirations become reality, and we find our heroine in close proximity with the Cooper Hewitts. But while she awaits the call of the director she falls asleep and dreams a wonderful dream in which she becomes the leading woman of the play, living in ease and affluence, and treated with a heavenly respect such as none of her kind in wildest dreams has ever imagined. Finally the dream has a rude awakening in which the director summons her to enter a lion's cage to "make meat for the lion," assuring her that he "will be right outside and everything." The finish of the picture shows Miss Screen Fan making a hasty flight to "Mommer!"

Peggy is a fascinating female who, after bidding her soldier lover a fond farewell, turns again quickly to the beloved pursuit of man eating. Invited to be one of a gay picnic party, she not only is successful in winning the admiration of the unmarried and much engaged young men of the party, but fastens her talons on the only married member. A conspiracy worked up by the women while the men go swimming, in which they hire a farm-hand to be caught by the young woman in a game of blind man's bluff, only goes to prove how little faith can be placed in the best laid plans of mice and women. The young woman in a fit of fright rushes frantically to the stream where the men are swimming, and is soon the center of masculine attraction again.

A simple old story of the girl who longs to yield to her lover's appeal that they be married at once, but hesitates to break the news to "pa." The elopement is there, too; but "pa," having overheard a certain telephone conversation between the contracting parties, is also on the job. His tactics are quite different, however, from those of the usual moving picture "pa." This particular gentleman merely steps up to the prospective bridegroom waiting in the moonlight beside the taxi, taps him on the arm and suggests they make it a daylight affair - "why not advertise and get the benefit of the wedding presents?" The suggestion is well taken and a month later an artistically staged wedding takes place.
Dir: Jack Eaton
