Run Tin Can Synopsis
Neal and the villain Eddie are the rivals for the hand of Mary whose home is out among the oil wells. Neal's pal is "Run Tin Can," a police dog. Eddie discovers that an abandoned oil well belonging to Neal, is in reality a valuable piece of property and seeks possession through an offer of a small sum of money. Neal is inclined to accept the offer but through the efforts of "Run Tin Can," who has taken a keen dislike to Eddie, his signature to the deed is delayed long enough to permit the arrival of Mary who bears the news that Neal's well has "come in." Eddie and his "wild cat" associates tie Mary and Neal to beams in an old shack and endeavor to get to the tax office to buy in the well. "Run Tin Can" comes to the rescue and in a mad race to the tax office, foils the villain and saves the well for his pal.
Molly Entangled Synopsis
According to old Mr. Barry's will, if his son Jim fails to marry, the vast Barry estate will revert to the O'Maras. When one night Jim, an irresponsible drunk, falls down the stairs and is given until morning to live, Mrs. Barry, in order to protect the property from the O'Maras, pleads with Molly Shawn to marry her son. Molly, although in love with Barney Malone, agrees out of a sense of indebtedness to the Barry family, and the two are married. Much to everyone's surprise, Jim recovers and Molly pines for her sweetheart Barney until it is discovered that the priest who performed the ceremony was really a criminal who, to escape the law, had disguised himself in priests' robes. Overjoyed, Molly is disentangled and now free to marry Barney, the man she loves.
"Run Tin Can" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Molly Entangled" offers its own unique cult appeal.
