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.
The Almighty Dollar Synopsis
As Nan Lorimer's mother lies dying, she makes Nan promise to take care of her younger sister Masie. Unfortunately, Masie falls for the shady Dr. Thornton and travels secretly around New York City to meet him. One night she is rescued during a subway accident by wealthy John Harwood, a miner, who falls in love with her and marries her. Although the two are deeply in love, John begins to neglect his wife for his mining business, and soon Masie begins to see Dr. Thornton again. Complications ensue.
"Run Tin Can" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Almighty Dollar" offers its own unique cult appeal.
