With Uncle Jerry are Merrilee, his grand-daughter, and Mollie, their servant. Uncle Jerry's friend is on hand to meet him, and the party is driven to the friend's ranch home. In the evening, Uncle Jerry evinces a disposition to wander over the ranch. His host furnishes Uncle Jerry with a horse, and Uncle Jerry expresses a desire to go alone, the rural guest rides off. Unused to his surroundings. Uncle Jerry misses his way. He dismounts, to look about him, and his horse gallops off. Proceeding on his way, Uncle Jerry comes upon a shed. The shed will afford him shelter during the night. Morning comes, and with it a troupe of "movie" people. The property man wants the shed. The director, having a sense of humor, orders the property man to get the shed, but not to disturb the sleeper. The action follows and the company exit. From the background enters a troupe of girls, made up as angels, who are to take part in the scene. Uncle Jerry awakens, sees, as he thinks a company of angels, and believes himself to have died during the night. His brain befuddled, Uncle Jerry questions the girls, whose replies befuddle him all the more. Finally, they lead him to the edge of the hill. Uncle Jerry gazes below, where he sees Universal City, crowded with visitors. The angels bid him seek the city, then exit. At the edge of the crowd he meets a Mephisto and three imps. They, thinking him an actor in makeup, kid him, but this only adds to the old man's mystification. Later, he blunders upon the main stage, where he gets into further trouble. Still later, while testing himself for proof of death, he is seen by Carl Laemmle, president of the Universal Company, who, in an interview, sets the old man right, then turns him over to a guide. With the guide to instruct him, Uncle Jerry goes upon a tour of inspection. Meanwhile, Merrilee, worried at the non-return of her grandfather, begs her host to go in search of him. Uncle Jerry is found, happy in the company of a number of girls. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
