Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The boob, a picture patron, arrives at the theater before it is opened. Informed that the show will start in thirty minutes, he sits down nearby and falls asleep. In his dreams he is the hero of an adventure which is a jumble of all the exciting pictures he has ever seen. He rescues a beautiful girl from the bandits and is himself captured. Just as the desperadoes are about to hurl him over a cliff, he awakes to find the showman and a policeman shaking him vigorously.
