Harold is having his picture taken, all for the love of Mildred. He later finds
out, by showing her picture to his photographer, that she and another man were
in his studio recently, in preparation for their wedding! Harold races to the
church, only to get there in time to see the newly married couple exiting the
church. A dejected Harold grieves his loss by plucking the pedals off a daisy―at
that point, he awakens from what was a really bad dream.Relieved, he goes out to the garage,
to retrieve his beloved car, making an enemy out the neighbor in the process,
when Harold ruins the garden behind the garage. Harold leaves, to get to the
playhouse, where he is in a production―but, his car does not cooperate, and
stalls on the way. As he tries to fix his car, a curious little boy causes havoc
for Harold. Once Harold gets his car started (thanks to a shot in the engine
from a needle lifted off an opium addict!), he cannot stop it, as it zooms along
the streets unmanned.
After finally stopping it aboard a
flatcar train, he speeds by some traffic officers, and is pursued. He eventually
gets away from the law, and arrives at the play, only to find that, due to
Harold's tardiness, his rival assumed his part as the Masked Prince, and has
gained the affection of the crowd as the play ends. Harold overpowers the rival
(by throwing his boots in a fountain just in time for curtain calls), and
accepts the audience's kudos. Mildred, thrilled at Harold's acting acumen, falls
in love with him, and the two ride off in his car.

"The reason why Lloyd is forging ahead is because he refuses to stand still. He
never uses an old stunt over again."
