Breaking Into Society Synopsis
The O'Tooles inherit a fortune and move to Pasadena where they try to break into society by having lavish dinner parties. The guests are stunned by the O'Tooles' manners, and they leave when the "Pittsburgh Kid" and his Bowery wife, Yvonne, uninvited guests, arrive.
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.
"Breaking Into Society" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
