Sheltered Daughters Synopsis
New York police sergeant Jim Dark is determined that his daughter, Jenny, will be shielded from any knowledge of evil. Consequently, she lives in a dream world, imagining herself to be a descendant of Saint Jeanne d'Arc, but has a loyal friend in reporter Pep Mullins. Her school friend, Adele, also raised by overly protective parents, is ejected from her home when she becomes inebriated after spending an evening with a disreputable young man. Later, Jenny falls into the hands of a crooked Frenchman, posing as a wounded veteran, who absconds with $250,000 intended for war orphans. Jim tracks the criminal to a rendezvous with his daughter and rescues her with the aid of Pep, who makes Jenny his wife.
The Antics of Ann Synopsis
Ann Wharton, a rambunctious young student at the prestigious Bredwell Academy, is in trouble after a spoonful of cereal she flung at a classmate hits Mrs. Bredwell in the face. As she is being reprimanded in Mrs. Bredwell's office, a misunderstanding results in a member of the football team arriving at the office with Ann's clothes--she had left them behind when she changed into a football uniform so she could play football with the team--and Mrs. Bredwell writes to Ann's father notifying him that Ann is being expelled. She intercepts the letter, but her troubles are far from over.
"Sheltered Daughters" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Antics of Ann" offers its own unique cult appeal.
