Plot Summary

Jimmy Jump is janitor in the office of a motion picture company. When the cameraman is discharged Jimmy is sent out to take a picture of the Governor, who is touring the state. Jimmy gets one brief shot of the Governor and everything else on the horizon. He begs his irate bosses to give him another chance, orders ten miles of film and goes out again - this time in a motorcycle. When he returns after a strenuous day, it is learned that he forgot to put any film in his camera. But the prettiest stenographer loves him, so Jimmy isn't worried. Written by from a period review
