Prairie Trails Synopsis
Tex Benton, a cowboy from Texas, is in love with Janet McWhorter, the daughter of a sheep rancher. Mr. McWhorter is willing to let Tex marry Janet if he lives on the ranch and tends sheep, which Tex finds objectionable. After a fight in the town saloon, he rides off, rescuing Alice Endicott from the back of a runaway horse as he is being pursued by the town badman, Jack Purdy. There is a series of complications, including Purdy's kidnapping of Janet and the general belief Tex has kidnapped Alice. Finally, in a daring feat, Tex swings from a tree on a mountainside and saves Janet. They soon marry.
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.
"Prairie Trails" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
