My Pal Synopsis

Dick starts a rather violent flirtation with Molly in cave-mannish fashion by picking her up by means of his telescoping rumble seat on his roadster and dates her up. He, being the chauffeur, ought to know better, but he makes the mistake of his life by using his device on his own boss, and she fires him and Pal, his mate. Pal evades the dogcatcher by several artful ruses. Dick has trouble getting Molly on the phone to break his engagement, and gets ensnared in a spring, but eventually, assisted by Pal, rescues her from drowning. He and Pal go to a studio and cause havoc by breaking into scenes during the shooting of films, but eventually they land jobs with the producing company.

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.
