Select two cult films to compare side by side.
It's a Pipe Synopsis
A girl, her suitor and her father, sailing to Ireland, discover that Abie, who has fallen in love with girl, has stowed away on the ship. In order to escape detection, Abie dons feminine attire and mingles with the passengers and guests in the ladies' salon. Throughout, the father tries to sneak a smoke on hid old clay pipe over his daughter's objection. A storm comes up, the ship sinks and all the survivors are washed ashore on a desert island (in the Atlantic?). Abie talks the cannibal chief into a partnership and has himself appointed Mayor, and marries the girl.
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.
"It's a Pipe" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
