- Bobby runs away from the studio, leads a company of children to an island, where they act "Pokey-hantus" with Bobby as director. The boat floats away, but they are rescued by the sea captain.
- The picture opens with Bobby trying to work in a new picture when he does not feel like working and the director is despairingly trying to show the little star how to make a proper entrance. Bobby slips away to an adjoining studio, where Anita Stewart and a lot of grown-up Vitagraph stars are putting on a grand ballroom scene. He keeps right on moving away from that director until he runs across a friendly driver of a fish wagon who carries him to where a lot of boys are playing marbles. Bobby is happy. He gets into the game and is having a great time until Aida, his leading lady, perched on a gate, recognizes him. "I know you," she pipes. "You're Bobby Connelly, who plays in the movies." The boys all crowd about Bobby. The truant star admits the assertion and adds, when asked what he can do, that "I am a director." Furthermore, he orders them to follow him to the beach where he will show them what sort of a director he is and overrules their decision that little Aida shall not come along. They all pile into a boat and on reaching the "location" Bobby proceeds to direct the picture "Pokyhauntus," with Aida in the leading role and himself as "John Smith, Injun." Bobby makes real Indians of them and with an old cigar box for a camera leaves little to the imagination. Meanwhile, Bobby has been missed at home and so has his leading lady and all other members of the "Pokyhauntus" cast. Bobby's mother appeals to Capt. Barnacle, who spies the director and his company through his field glasses and goes to the rescue.—Moving Picture World synopsis
