The Creative Genesis of Charles Lamont: Decoding Wedding Yells

Johnny is one of nature's noblemen. He is as pure as the driven snow and sings in the choir. Although he's more than sixteen, he's never been kissed. But he is in love. Kathryn is his beloved. She thinks the only thing he lacks to be an angel is wings. The path of true love is due to have some bumps in it, for there is a deep and dastardly plot abrewing. Wallace is plotting to get an inheritance that is coming to Kathryn and can only get it by marrying her. He plans to spoil Johnny's romance and marry Kathryn himself. Anita, a high-powered vamp, is pressed into the scheme. She waits for Johnny outside the church and finally traps him in her car and rushes him to her apartment where Johnny escapes just before he blushes himself into a fever. The wedding day arrives. The guests are assembled and all is ready. Suddenly Anita, dressed in rags, rushes into the room and commands the ceremony to halt. She then tells a harrowing tale of young love and betrayal by Johnny, painting him as the wolf in sheep's clothing. She tells how the monster carried her to his room and how she barely escaped without losing her dignity. She twists the facts until poor Johnny looks like the greatest rogue unhung. Anita sees that Wallace is paying too much attention to Kathryn and she double-crosses the villain. Then Johnny gets mad. He flares up like a two-bit skyrocket and cleans out Wallace in fine style:- But in the free-for-all fight, both he and his bride are decorated with black eyes for the wedding. Anita explains that her story was a pure and simple fabrication made up by Wallace, who had promised riches and his love if she helped him in his plot.
