A film crew is making a ''Gunga Din (film)''-style costume epic. Unknown Indian actor Hrundi V. Bakshi plays a bugler, but continues to play after repeatedly being shot and after the director yells "cut." Bakshi accidentally blows up an enormous fort Set construction rigged with explosives. The director fires Bakshi immediately and calls the studio head, General Fred R. Clutterbuck. Clutterbuck writes down Bakshi's name to blacklist him, but he inadvertently writes it on the guest list of his upcoming dinner party.
