Moonlight and Noses Synopsis

An eccentric doctor captures two burglars who enter his house. He promises them freedom and a reward of $1,000 if they will go to the cemetery and obtain for him the body of a man whom the doctor contends died of water on the brain. They agree. A suitor for the hand of the doctor's daughter, who has been forbidden to enter the house, passes himself off as a corpse and is carried to the doctor. The suitor escapes and, in order to obtain the reward, Cook is forced to act as the "body." An attempt to carve him up leads to the greatest activity on the part of the "body" to escape the knives and saws of the doctor.

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.
