Fair Warning Synopsis
The bank messenger (Al St. John) is entrusted with the delivery of a bag of bonds to the home of the banker. The bonds are sought by a pair of crooks. All three arrive at the height of a lawn party and the crooks steal a valuable necklace from one of the guests. They slip it into Al's pocket and then substitute a black bag containing a bomb for the original package of bonds. Al eventually delivers both the necklace and the bonds after a series of episodes in which the crooks are bested.
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.
"Fair Warning" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
