Reckless Romance Synopsis

Jerry Warner falls in love with Edith Somers but cannot obtain her father's permission to marry her. Jerry is given $10,000 by his uncle, however, and makes a proposition to Edith's father: if Jerry can retain the money for 30 days, Edith's father will withdraw his objections to the marriage. Edith's father agrees. Jerry immediately invests half of the money in an apparently worthless stock and lends the other half to a friend. Desperate for money, Jerry then accepts the offer made by his friends, Beatrice and Christopher Skinner, that he act as the corespondent in a temporary divorce they must obtain in order to prevent Christopher's disinheritance. After numerous complications, the Skinners manage to stay married, and the value of Jerry's stock doubles, enabling him to claim Edith for his own.

Dangerous Nan McGrew Synopsis

Nan is the soda fountain queen in Dead Dog. She is in love with Billy, but she got a letter from a New York lawyer saying that she and her cousin, Hezekiah, a New England school teacher, would have to marry in order to share a bequest of some thousands of dollars. Hezekiah was on his way west and because Nan would lose the money if she turned him down, she conceived the idea of rejuvenating the wildness of Dead Dog to frighten poor Hezey out of marrying her. With the scene all set and Hezekiah duly shocked, Nan made her entry, riding her horse up the steps and into the bar. In spite of his terror, Hezekiah was willing to go on with the ceremony, and just as Nan and he were about to say "I do," Billy made his entry and began to shoot up the place. This was too much for Hezekiah, and he started running, caught the observation platform of a train starting for the east.
