Millionaires Synopsis

Meyer Rubens and his wife Esther own a pressing-shop in New York's Lower East Side. Esther wants to move up to the upper West Side, and her rich sister Reba persuades Meyer to invest in the worthless oil stock sold by her husband. The stock proves to be not worthless and Meyer and Esther become overnight millionaires. But Reba thinks that Meyer, who has no taste for high society, is holding her sister back socially, so she devises some schemes that involve catching Meyer in compromising situations with other women so her sister can file for divorce.

Homer Comes Home Synopsis

Ne'er-do-well Homer Cavender ventures to the city from Mainsville in an effort to find fame and fortune. Both elude him, and after clerking for two years, Homer returns home for a vacation. Impressed by his flashy clothes, the townspeople assume that Homer has achieved success. Attempting to win Rachel Prouty from his rival, Arthur Machim, Homer continues the deception by announcing that his employer, Kort and Bailly, has dispatched him to enroll stockholders for a proposed new plant to be built in Mainsville. Machim discovers the sham and denounces Homer as a crook. Meanwhile, Homer returns to New York, convinces his employers of the merits of his plan and comes home triumphant, with a proposal for both the new plant and for Rachel's hand in marriage.
