Light Wines and Bearded Ladies Synopsis

After graduating from barber college, Gene gets a shop on an aeroplane as his first field of labor. His first customer is a fruit dealer, J. Buckley Russell, also suitor for the hand of Sally Phipps, the girl in question. What Gene does to his rival once the latter is seated in his barber chair and, for that matter, to other succeeding customers, would undoubtedly be bad enough at best. Add to his natural nervousness a plane doing tail spins and nose dives and you feel that the villain is justified in chasing the hero out on the wings and causing his fall countless miles to the terrain beneath.

Mary's Ankle Synopsis

While walking along the street one day, Arthur P. Hampton, an impoverished young doctor, and his chums, Stub Masters and Johnny Stokes, are persuaded to part with their last remaining funds by tag day solicitor Mary Jane Smith, with whom the doctor promptly falls in love. Doc's friends then hit upon a get-rich-quick scheme. Knowing that his Uncle George has promised a large sum of money upon his nephew's marriage, they persuade Doc to send out fake wedding invitations naming Mary Jane as the blushing bride. Uncle George, elated at the good news, writes to Mary Jane's aunt, Angelica Burns, an old sweetheart, to invite Mary Jane and Angelica to be his guests on an ocean voyage. Meanwhile, Mary Jane pays a visit to the doctor's office and, upon seeing the wedding invitations, becomes so flustered that she trips and sprains her ankle. Doc comes to her rescue and then begs her to pose as his wife. She agrees, but at ship-side, Stub and Johnnie confess all to Uncle George, who flies into a rage until Doc announces that he and Mary Jane have chosen a wedding at sea.
