Cupid's Victory Synopsis
Wanda appears as a plain-Jane office girl who manages to mess things up generally. The boss tries to kiss her and she wrecks his office; then in seeking to capture a frog she manages to break up nearly everything in the outer office. After hours she meets a sheik and it is love at first sight. Inviting him home she tries to make him jealous by inviting a lot of fellows. He retaliates by luring them to the window disguised as a vamp and pitching them out and then surrounding himself with chorus girls. Wanda then jumps off a building in despair but lands on a flag pole that breaks and sticks in the ground. She next tries driving an auto blindfolded, runs into the hero's car and in the smash both are thrown on a balcony where they make-up and pull the Romeo and Juliet stuff.
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.
"Cupid's Victory" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
