Easy Pickin' Synopsis
Jack is a wealthy orange grower. His three assistants, attired in dress suits and woolly chaps, shoot down the oranges with revolvers. One of them, being cross-eyed, is unable to hit them, and he gives him a double-barreled shotgun. As a result, he is caught in a veritable cloudburst of oranges. Precisely at four, they stop for tea. Among the guests is his fiancée (Vera Reynolds). He writes his father for permission to marry her, but his father receives a picture of the maid (Gale Henry) instead, and sends a lawyer and three attractive girls to break up the match at once. Meanwhile, they elope, and when the matrimonial wrecking crew arrives, all sorts of complications ensue.
Captivating Mary Carstairs Synopsis
Mary Carstairs' father, who has not seen his daughter since he separated from his wife, hires a young man to kidnap her. The youth, who abducts Mary by a harbor, falls in love with her. Before they return to the father's house, the two are wed on a yacht.
"Easy Pickin'" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Captivating Mary Carstairs" offers its own unique cult appeal.
