All Wet Synopsis

"Snub" Pollard plays a hick whose pa packs him off to his aunt's home in the big city. He fits in awkwardly with her hoity society world. News of his oil-well inheritance makes the more mercenary flappers pay attention, notably a vampish cousin (named Cleopatra, no less). It's a funny culture-clash showcase for slight, droopy-moustached comedian Pollard, an Australian vaudevillian who entered movies in 1915 and became a staple in two-reeler vehicles for himself and others (including Harold Lloyd). He remained a familiar face onscreen right up until his death in 1962, making one of his final cameo appearances in the Chubby Checker dance-craze flick TWIST AROUND THE CLOCK. - Dennis Harvey

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.
