Nobody Works But Father Synopsis
The first part of this comedy pictures a race between an aged messenger with a big family and a stork bearing an infant, and the unsuccessful attempt of the messenger to prevent the stork from flying down his chimney. The latter portion deals with the messenger's grown son being dragooned into driving a car in an auto race, although he has never driven a machine before.
An Amateur Devil Synopsis
Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
"Nobody Works But Father" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
