The Moving Picture Girls Under the Palms

Ruth and Alice eagerly anticipate warm weather and palm trees in Florida, where they are to film a series of dramas. They also think of the possibility of reacquainting themselves with two girls from Florida whom they met briefly while traveling to Elk Lodge. During the voyage, the film company has its usual share of adventures when the ship catches on fire. Russ films many scenes of the fire, evacuation, and rescue of the passengers to be used in a future play.

After arriving in Florida, a steamer is hired to carry the film company into the interior of the state. Both Ruth and Alice feel nervous after reading of two girls who recently went missing from Lake Kissimmee, the very place to where the film company will travel. They worry that their old friends may be the two girls and wonder whether something similar could happen to them as well.
