Low Tide Synopsis
To escape a gangster, the hero finds refuge with his wife and daughter on a houseboat. Mother-in-law and the neighbors arrive as guests, and jealousy over chic girls in bathing costumes develops. In the end the gangster shows up and the hero only escapes a rain of bullets by fast traveling.
Tell It to the Marines Synopsis
After a busy day of playing pranks on their father's servants and guests, Harry Williams' daughters Jane and Katherine tumble into bed and fall asleep. Having seen a film depicting World War I fighting in Europe, little Jane dreams that two armies, consisting entirely of mechanical dolls, are advancing against each other in battle. While Trik leads the German troops, who are guilty of committing a score of atrocities, Trak heads the Allied army, which ultimately wins the war. In the end, Jane awakens with a start to find that it has all been a dream.
"Low Tide" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Tell It to the Marines" offers its own unique cult appeal.
