You're Fired

The plot centers around railroad magnate Gordon Rogers, who sets a challenge for his daughter's suitor, Billy Deering, Jr. Billy must hold the same job for a month to win approval for his marriage to Helen. Throughout the film, he takes on various roles, including an office clerk and a xylophone player, but comically fails to keep them due to his penchant for quitting before being fired.

In one of the film's amusing scenarios, Billy finds himself working in a restaurant dressed as a knight, posing as a statue. This leads to a near-disastrous encounter when he is recognized by Helen while her father and her romantic rival are present. The stakes increase as Gordon plans to merge his railroad with a competing company, leading to a subplot involving document theft and financial intrigue.
