Chip of the Flying U Synopsis
Chip Bennett of the Flying U Ranch, though a confirmed misogynist, falls in love with Dr. Della Whitmore, the sister of the rancher for whom Chip works. In order to be near her, Chip fakes an accident and claims to have a damaged ankle. The two fall in love, and Della submits several of Chip's highly accomplished cartoons to a receptive publisher. When she later discovers Chip's deception, however, Della gives him the cold shoulder. Chip is at first heartbroken, but, screwing up his courage, he kidnaps the fair doctor from a dance and carries her off to a parson to be married.
The Gown of Destiny Synopsis
Rejected by the army because of his petite size, French dress designer Andre Leriche conceives the idea of designing a gown that will aid his country. His employer, Madame Felice, sells the gown to Mrs. Mortimer Reyton, a middle-aged woman who is gradually losing the love of her husband. The gown so transforms her that, in honor of their wedding anniversary, Reyton buys three ambulances for France. Mrs. Reyton then sends the gown to her cousin Natalie. The garment so inspires Englishman Neil Cunningham that, to win Natalie's love, he returns home to enlist. In France, Neil proves himself a hero and, while leading an attack on a German stronghold, saves Andre's father, the mayor of the town, from death. Thus, the gown made a reality of Andre's dream to serve his country.
