Money Madness Synopsis
Bank president, George Fuller, uses his own fortune to cover the losses, when the bank is on the verge of collapse. Unknown to Fuller, however, Monroe Simmons, his vice-president, is undermining the bank for his own purposes. Then Tom Williams, who is in love with Fuller's daughter Ethel, asks his uncle, famous detective "Whispering Smith," to investigate the case. Smith successfully uncovers Simmons' conspiracy and apprehends him and his fellow conspirators, thus saving the bank.
The Critical Age Synopsis
Tom Findlay and Bob Kerr are both in love with Margaret Baird. She favors Tom but Bob's social position and initiative almost exclude Tom. Bob's father is trying to pass a bill in the legislature that is detrimental to the farmers' interests, and Margaret's father, also a political power, opposes it. Bob's father frames Mr. Baird so that his necessary vote will be lost, but Tom and Margaret save the day. Tom of course earns first place in Margaret's affections.
"Money Madness" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Critical Age" offers its own unique cult appeal.
