Die geschiedene Frau Synopsis
Mrs, Hardy's honeymoon is a failure. Though her husband tries to surfeit her with kisses, the appearance of a fascinating creature on the beach arouses her jealousy, for she suspects they are acquainted. A yachting trip to which the newly-weds invite the husband's friend, a judge on holiday, is interrupted by the fair unknown appearing in bathing costume. Seething with jealousy, the young wife gives vent to her feelings, and when her husband is recalled to town, declines to accompany him. But the hated woman is on the train, and through the jamming of a latch the couple are in a sleeping compartment together all night. This brings matters to the Divorce Court, and a decree nisi is pronounced. Ultimately the husband and wife are reconciled, and the vivacious cause of the troubles marries the judge.
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.
"Die geschiedene Frau" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
