The film's male protagonist, Keaton (Buster Keaton), is a rural theater projectionist. He likes to read detective books and often fantasizes that he is a great detective like Fulmore. One day, he falsely claimed to give chocolate candy worth one yuan to his girlfriend Kathleen (Kathryn McGuire) for four yuan. Unexpectedly, his rival took the opportunity to frame him, saying that Keaton had stolen someone else's watch and stockpiled it to get money to buy chocolate. Kathleen believed the slander, kicked Keaton out of the door and cancelled the engagement between the two. After Keaton visited, he discovered that his rival was the one who stole the watch and pawned it, but he had no evidence to clear his grievances. One day, when Keaton was screening the movie, he found that the story on the screen was the same as what happened to him, and the characters were the same. The only difference was that the story in the movie took place in a upper-class family. Keaton was immersed in the movie while showing it, so he walked out of the screening room and walked from the audience to the screen to arrest the criminal rival. However, after entering the screen, Keaton was hit by obstacles everywhere and couldn't do anything. As the scene changes, the image on the screen continues to change from fantasy to fact...
