Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch Synopsis
The Wiggs family plan to celebrate Thanksgiving in their rundown shack with leftover stew, without Mr. Wiggs, who hasn't been heard from since he wandered off long ago. Do-gooder Miss Lucy brings them a real feast. Her boyfriend Bob arranges to take Wiggs' sick boy to a hospital. Their other boy makes some money peddling kindling and takes the family to a show. Mrs. Wiggs is called to the hospital just in time to see her boy die. Her neighbor Miss Hazy wants to marry Mr. Stubbins, who insists on tasting her cooking. Mrs. Wiggs sneaks her dishes past Stubbins, who agrees to marriage. Mr. Wiggs appears suddenly, in tatters, with just the amount of money ($20) needed to save the family from foreclosure. Miss Lucy and Bob get married.
In the River Synopsis
A mail-order bride arrives at a Maine lumber camp but doesn't like her prospective husband.
"Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "In the River" offers its own unique cult appeal.
