Summary
In the midst of a chaotic cinematic experience, Snub, the protagonist, navigates a treacherous theater, complete with steep center aisles and ushers dressed as Alpine climbers, only to find himself seated in a spot where the film is grotesquely distorted, setting the stage for a hilarious satire of melodrama, culminating in a frenzied free-for-all fight on screen, all presented by the 'Shameless Film Co.', a clever sendup of the film industry's penchant for sensationalism, echoing the absurdity found in films like <a href='/movies/pussyfoot'>Pussyfoot</a> and <a href='/movies/marvelous-maciste'>Marvelous Maciste</a>.
Synopsis
Snub writes a scenario and goes to the local theater to see the picture. After a good deal of trouble he and his wife succeed in getting into the house, but are unable to find two seats together. The center aisle is built very steep, and the ushers are dressed like Alpine climbers. This provides a great deal of action for those who must climb up, and those who slide into their seats. Then comes the film. The main title tells that the picture is made by the "Shameless Film Co." As Snub's seat is up against the screen he sees the picture greatly distorted. The picture shown on the screen satires the current melodrama, and will bring a laugh in itself. The comedy ends in a free-for-all fight.
