Although Madge's father Wilbur approves of James, her sisters' boyfriends are appalled that she is dating a lowly truck driver.

After he saves his former employer from a robbery, however, James is awarded $10,000 with which he starts his own trucking business and marries Madge.
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.
"Girls Don't Gamble" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
