Cupid's Knockout Synopsis

Wealthy town "boss" David Manning has everything he desires except Sally Hibbard, and he plots to "rescue" Sally and her parents from a situation and thus put her under an obligation to him. Sally, however, meets Frank Gibson when they find themselves photographed together by a "picture machine." Later, Manning's henchmen attack Frank and his pal, "Rubber Chin" Smith, but the gang gets the worst of it. While on his milk delivery route, Frank overhears Manning's plotting and by accident finds himself at the Hibbard home, where Sally invites him to join a party. The party is invited to a tavern, where Frank follows and frustrates Manning's scheme to stage a police raid by substituting milk for the liquor on the guests' tables. Frank turns out to be the governor's son and is betrothed to Sally.

Mary's Ankle Synopsis

While walking along the street one day, Arthur P. Hampton, an impoverished young doctor, and his chums, Stub Masters and Johnny Stokes, are persuaded to part with their last remaining funds by tag day solicitor Mary Jane Smith, with whom the doctor promptly falls in love. Doc's friends then hit upon a get-rich-quick scheme. Knowing that his Uncle George has promised a large sum of money upon his nephew's marriage, they persuade Doc to send out fake wedding invitations naming Mary Jane as the blushing bride. Uncle George, elated at the good news, writes to Mary Jane's aunt, Angelica Burns, an old sweetheart, to invite Mary Jane and Angelica to be his guests on an ocean voyage. Meanwhile, Mary Jane pays a visit to the doctor's office and, upon seeing the wedding invitations, becomes so flustered that she trips and sprains her ankle. Doc comes to her rescue and then begs her to pose as his wife. She agrees, but at ship-side, Stub and Johnnie confess all to Uncle George, who flies into a rage until Doc announces that he and Mary Jane have chosen a wedding at sea.
