Description:  Martin repairs his CCTBS, but hasn't fined tuned it enough to get precisely back to 1963. The closest he can currently get to is 1945. But it's back to 1925 that he currently has his eye on as he appeared in a silent movie made then - he just couldn't stand the performance of the actor who was scheduled to play the role - that movie which is scheduled to air on television that evening. Since his appearance in the movie would raise questions, he needs to get back to change history and not appear in the movie. Just as Martin is ready to go, Tim gets caught in the path and goes back with Martin. As they arrive on the movie set, Martin cannot control his hatred of the actor's performance and similarly stops production just like he did the first time. The only difference this time is that Martin intends on finding another person to take the actor's place. He finds who he thinks is the perfect person, a waiter named Joe, who with the aid of a Martian pill, exudes stage presence. The one thing that Martin didn't account for is that the leading lady, Viola Normandy, has someone else in mind for the role, namely Tim. Tim gets swept up in the moment and gets swept up with Viola. So Martin has to get Joe into see the director while convincing Tim to give up this exciting life he was never meant to experience. Tim may give up the movie career somewhat easily, but it's giving up Viola that may be more difficult.
