Breaking In Synopsis
The first of a series of two-reel short based on "Flying Fists" in the "Saturday Evening Post" stories written by Sam Hellman on the Flyweight Boxing Champion of the world, Benny Leonard. Leonard, at various times in his career, held other world-champion titles at various weights.
Appearance of Evil Synopsis
Maida Brown, a rich widow, is being visited by wealthy aircraft manufacturer Louis Letchworth at the Brown family estate in Bayport. The family maid notices the pair's affectionate behavior toward each other and, aghast, reports the incident to Maida's father, the head of the local Purity League. The local citizenry is so outraged by this scandalous behavior that they force Maida to leave town. Meanwhile, Harold Brown, her late husband's brother, is aware that the family estate will revert to him if Maida remarries, so he spies on her in order to prove that she and Louis are married, so Harold can get the family fortune for himself.
"Breaking In" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Appearance of Evil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
