Jilted Janet Synopsis
Young Janet Barnes is jilted by fiance Ernest Morgan for Suzette Sparks, who comes from a rich family. Angered, Janet sends him a photo of the elaborate and elegant mansion next to her house, implying that is actually her home. Ernest replies that he and his new wife want to stop by for a visit on their honeymoon. Janet finds out that the mansion's owners are out of town and arranges with the estate's caretakers to use the mansion while Ernest and his wife come to town. Her charade comes off so well that Ernest begins to regret leaving Janet and makes a pass for her. To complicate matters, the mansion's real owner unexpectedly returns home early. Complications ensue.
A Child of the Paris Streets Synopsis
When the son of a leader of a Paris underworld family known as The Apaches is arrested and tried in court, the boy's mother asks the judge for mercy, but he refuses. In retaliation, the family kidnaps the judge's young daughter and raises her to be one of their own, schooling her in the ways of crime. One day she steals a valuable pin from a young American artist; he catches her, but an attraction develops between them--and her "Apache" family is not happy about it.
