Fatty and the Broadway Stars (1915)

Fatty is janitor of the studio and is sweeping the entrance, when the Broadway stars come trooping in for the day's work. He is always getting into other people's way, stirring up dust and turning the hose on everyone. Finally he is discharged by the director and goes out to the front of the building, lights a cigarette and has a daydream. The studio gets on fire and Fatty sees himself rescuing several actors and actresses and even the director. Then he wakes up a little and sees some of the rescued coming out at the end of the day in their automobiles, but they never notice poor Fatty. Still believing that he has saved their lives, Fatty shrugs his shoulders in acquiescence at the ingratitude of the stars, especially that of the comely young actress he had taken out while she was bound with ropes and encircled with flames.
