AS a photograplier. Ham convincingly proves himself to be the unluckiest man in seven counties. Bud is to blame for most of Ham's difficulties. For instance, while Ham is talking to some prospective customers, Bud places a seltzer bottle in the camera. As the result, when Ham attempts to snap some pictures, he douses his patrons with water.
The sight of Bud doing a war dance in the next room, arouses Ham's suspicion. Without further ado, he aims the camera towards his assistant and almost drowns him. Later, a delegation of firemen visit the studio, but, just as they are ready to pose, the fire liell rings. With one accord, the red-shirted heroes dash madly out of the studio, using Ham and his camera as doormats.
Angelica Footlights visits the studio with her son, Billie. In reply to Ham's queries as to what pose she desires to assume, Angelica removes her cloak and stands liefore the photographer clad only in tights. In an effort to recover his self possession. Ham stalks out of the room, takes a kick at Bud, and then returns to the scene.
The kick makes Bud anxious to square accounts. Filling a flashlight pan with nitro-glycerine and gunpowder, he gives it to Ham and hotfoots it to safety. Lhiaware of the trick Bud has played upon him. Ham poses Angelica and then puts a match to the explosive. What follows, ruins the studio and buries Ham and his camera under the wreckage !
