Safety in Numbers Synopsis
A songwriter's uncle hires three chorus girls to show him the "underside" of big-city life.
The Hired Man Synopsis
Ezra Hollins, though a hired man, is ambitious because he loves Ruth Endicott, his employer's daughter. Ruth, not knowing of his love, helps him with his studies, though secretly, because she knows her father would not approve. Ezra passes his entrance examination, but at the last moment gives his tuition money to save the brother of the girl he loves from the results of his speculations from the bank. His failure to go to college is misunderstood, but in the end his name is cleared and Caleb is proud of his chosen son-in-law.
"Safety in Numbers" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Hired Man" offers its own unique cult appeal.
