Bring Him In Synopsis

For his untiring work in keeping the members of the San Francisco police force in perfect condition, "Tiger" Jack O'Day, World's Champion Heavyweight, is made an honorary member of the force for twenty-four hours. The commissioner's daughter promises to let him lead the grand march of the policemen's ball, to be held that night, provided he sells one hundred tickets. While Jack is trying to sell the tickets, the editor of the city's most influential paper makes a wager with the commissioner that the first cop he sees will not be able to bring in the notorious thug, Spike McGann. The commissioner agrees to resign if the officer fails and the editor agrees to become his strongest backer if the cop succeeds. Jack happens to be the one selected and, although he manages to get Spike with little difficulty, he lets him get away in his eagerness to sell tickets to the ball. Later he learns that Spike is to fight that night and goes to the club and persuades the other boxer to let him take his place. Jack wins the fight and takes Spike to the commissioner at the ball just in time to lead the grand march and win the bet for the commissioner.

The Great Shadow Synopsis

Jim McDonald, the foreman of a shipbuilding plant and head of the labor union, strives to combat the anarchistic propaganda being put forth by Klimoff, the leader of a Bolshevik gang whose goal is to disrupt the country with strikes and anarchy. Despite McDonald's efforts, a strike is called, resulting in chaos. McDonald's child is knocked down by runaway horses abandoned by their striking driver, and dies. Mob scenes take place in America, as well as in Russia. Eventually, the unrest is quelled with an armistice called between Capital and Labor for a year, during which time wages are to be increased to reflect the cost of living, and leaders are to work out a common plan for their mutual advantage. The strikers now realize that they have been pawns of the Bolsheviks and call off the strike, agreeing to the plan.
