What everybody's doing would appear to be writing film scenarios: This satiric two-reel crime story is also a send up of the motion-picture industry, which it spoofs by means of a framing story about a pair of youngsters who concoct movie stories. The kids devise a tale about a vicious crook (Tully Marshall), which then is dramatized in this short. The crook manipulates a gullible young society gentleman (Howard Gaye) and dupes him into assisting in a daring robbery by making him think he is actually rescuing a young woman (Lillian Webster) who is in trouble. 16/2rl
