Kicked About Synopsis
Eddie's gang has deprived a fruit dealer of a living and the Judge gives him thirty years in jail, offering him the alternative of becoming a cop and capturing the town's chief desperado. After more bumping around, during the course of which he is kicked out of buildings and hurled through a couple of fences, Eddie "necks" the big boy. He effects the arrest by having him jump through a window into a huge cylindrical bird cage. This he rolls to the police station where he is proclaimed a hero and immediately assigned to the bomb squad.
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.
"Kicked About" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
