Bear Skinned Beauties Synopsis
Zip Monberg, who is a live-wire messenger boy on roller skates, gets mixed up in a fashionable modiste shop where he has gone to deliver some parcels. Bull Slinger, whose wife runs the shop, likes the girls who are employed there, but gets in wrong when he tries to "vamp" Zip's sweetheart. Bull's wife, seeing the flirtation, starts a battle, during which Zip is kicked out by Bull and chased to a dentist's office. The dentist thinks Zip wants a tooth extracted and starts the work, giving Zip gas. Zip dreams of woodlands and beauteous girls, and as he is brought back to life by the extraction, sees in a haze Bull Slinger, surrounded by all the models. Frightened, he looks at Bull, then looks at the girls and smiles, whereupon he takes the gas tube and goes back to sleep.
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.
"Bear Skinned Beauties" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
