Help Wanted Synopsis
Charley gets tossed out of his girlfriend's house by her father with the instruction to go get a job. He spots a position listed on the bulletin board in front of the employment agency but has no paper to write the address on. He stanches the white collar from a passing pedestrian, writes down the address and the irate collar-owner comes back and retrieves his property. Charley follows him all over town trying to read the address. The man falls from a bus, is hit by a fender and thrown up on the porch of Charley's girlfriends house. He turns out to be the long-lost brother and Charley gets the reward for finding him.
His Royal Slyness Synopsis
An American book salesman (Lloyd) is persuaded to go to the kingdom of Thermosa to impersonate the Prince. He is greeted by a peasants' revolt before the real prince shows up to claim his throne and princess. The revolution succeeds, and the American is elected president of the new republic.
"His Royal Slyness" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
