A Perfect Gentleman Synopsis
Monty, a trusted bank employee, is about to be married to Helen Wayne, the president's daughter. En route to the wedding he has a flat tire and is accidentally knocked unconscious; his valet, attempting to revive him, gets him hopelessly intoxicated. At the bride's house, Monty's dislike for the aunt combined with his drunken behavior result in his expulsion, and George Cooper, a rival for the hand of Helen, exaggerates Monty's actions to the Waynes. Some South Americans persuade Cooper to finance a revolution with bank funds; and after stealing the money, he sends Monty to South America with the funds. Aboard ship Monty encounters Helen and her father, as well as the crooks, and after a series of whirlwind battles he saves the money and is exonerated by his sweetheart's father.
An Amateur Devil Synopsis
Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
"A Perfect Gentleman" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
