Good and Naughty Synopsis
Germaine Morris, considered an ugly duckling, is in love with her employer, Gerald Gray, an interior decorator who caters to the smart set, and is concerned over his affair with Claire Fenton, the wife of a wealthy broker. When Claire invites Gerald on a yachting trip to Florida, his friend Bunny West invites showgirl Chouchou Rouselle to pose as Gerald's fiancée, but Germaine determines to substitute her own womanly beauty. In Florida she wins the attentions of all the men, causing a quarrel between Claire and Gerald; and Fenton hopes to obtain a correspondent as grounds for divorce. When Germaine, in her negligee, delivers a pipe to Gerald's room, he proposes; Fenton suggests that he take Germaine, leaving Claire and Gerald to go their way; but Smith, the showgirl's admirer, tries to claim her and is beaten by Gerald, who effects a reconciliation between the Fentons and claims the girl he loves.
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.
"Good and Naughty" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
