A henpecked husband's wife demands that he get a raise. The cook quits and comes to Joe's office for her wages and his bachelor boss mistakes her for Joe's wife, gives him the raise, and invites himself to lunch. Joe's efforts to keep up the deception not only anger his wife but "starts something" with the cook's sweetheart. The boss at last learns the truth but forgives Joe.
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.
"Be Careful, Dearie!" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
