The misleading title led me to believe this would be about actors trying to crash into the movies, but instead it's a Pete Smith Specialty featuring a number of oddities involving crashes.
It starts with newsreel camera men capturing for posterity a fat ladies diving competition which looks painful when they hit the water; a woman trapeze artist who hangs by her teeth over Manhattan streets on a high wire act; a surfer trying to get a lift from a glider but plunging into the water after each try; motorcycles crashing through glass barriers; and finally, several human projectiles being shot from cannon-like devices or improvising with devices of their own, all crashing spectacularly into water or safety nets.
Nothing really spectacular, it's just a time passer.
