Episode 4

Months later, Maud has given birth to her child. Max is tiring of producing comedy shorts and encourages Arnie to commission a six-reel costume picture – a romantic adventure story about a highwayman, in order to cash in on the growing demand for longer films. Production proves fraught and runs over budget due to Max's demands for historical accuracy, further exacerbated when he casts theatrical actress Gwendoline Harper for a lead role, but she proves difficult and tempremental. Needing money to keep his business afloat, Arnie approaches Letty and persuades her to work for him.
