Pants Synopsis
Little Betty has a luxurious home, an army of servants and the costliest of toys. But she hasn't what a child wants most of all, other children to play with. The result is that she runs away and joins a group of children from the ghetto district on the beach. In play she exchanges clothing with a little boy. That evening Betty doesn't return home. Her maiden aunt, an over-zealous guardian, is frantic. She notifies the police. The same evening the father of the boy, who has lost his position and is facing starvation, decides to turn burglar. He steals into the home of Betty's father. The household is awakened and the intruder captured. At that moment the police arrive with the boy whom they have mistaken for Betty on account of the little girl's clothing which he wears. All are utterly bewildered. The denouement comes with Betty's entrance at this juncture, garbed in the boy's clothes. She likes the boy and on her plea he and his father are liberated. The experience teaches Betty's father that his little girl should have more than his wealth can afford her; that is, other children to play with.
Vultures of Society Synopsis
Young Teddy Bimms craves the good life and finds plenty of intrigue and danger when she falls in love with a jewel thief, who is masquerading as a prince. Ultimately, the young girl reveals his true identity and rescues the grateful prince, who promptly proposes marriage.
"Pants" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Vultures of Society" offers its own unique cult appeal.
