Meatless Days and Sleepless Nights Synopsis

Vic is running a " lunch-urant " according to the Food Administration idea, by having a meatless day on Tuesday and a wheatless day on Wednesday. A janitor, longing for a real taste of meat on pay day, gets out and makes straight for Vic's, who is advertising a meal ticket for $5.00. The janitor buys one, figuring that every Tuesday he is off he will get a real feed of meat, but Vic informs him that it is Tuesday and a meatless day in all restaurants. The janitor departs, swearing revenge for the meatless meal ticket he purchased. In the meantime, Vic's wife gets the " saving idea," and digs up all the old family clothes out of the attic to be worn out before purchasing any new ones. The janitor goes back to Vic's the next day, which is Wednesday, and orders a " herd " of wheat cakes. Vic informs him that it is a wheatless day. A " free for all " follows, in which Vic is badly handled, and the janitor goes back to the asylum threatening to do all sorts of things. Vic rushes home to get some other clothing to replace his torn ones. His wife makes him put on a suit which she has found in the attic. He goes back to the restaurant in what looks like a disguise. The janitor is back with all the " Weed-etarians." They demand the janitor's money back, but Vic compromises by offering to give them all a banquet for it. Everything is all right until Vic serves meat to the " Weed-etarians," and then the trouble starts. Vic is given some handling, and a tremendous "wallop" at the finish.

Even as Eve Synopsis

Eileen O'Hara lives as a member of a cult in a remote retreat in the Adirondacks with her father, an embittered man since his wife's infidelity years earlier. One day, Peyster Sproul, the man responsible for her transgression, appears, and as president of the millionaire Sagamore Club, attempts to buy O'Hara's land for a summer resort. O'Hara recognizes him and a quarrel ensues, which results in the old man's death. Sproul then secures an illegitimate hold on the land by bribing Amasa Munn, the dishonest leader of the cult, with a small sum of money while pocketing the balance of the purchase funds. Upon receiving orders to produce the deed, Sproul attempts to steal the document from Eileen. His plan is thwarted, however, by Dr. Lansing, a young man who has fallen in love with Eileen. When Sproul's fraudulence is discovered, he is dishonorably dismissed from the club. Eileen retains her land and marries Lansing.
