On the Go Synopsis
Sid is a postman in a hilly country. He climbs a long set of steps only to find that the family is on vacation. Then a mother calls him up another long flight to tell her child she'll put him in the postman's bag if he isn't good. Sid finally gets home and relaxes for a good vacation. But wifie thinks otherwise and forces Sid on a hike. They meet up with their in-laws and hike some more. All in all, Sid gets no rest for his weary feet, even after they arrive at the cabin, for rain floods the place and the occupants have to flee.
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.
"On the Go" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Mary's Ankle" offers its own unique cult appeal.
