Speed 'Em Up Synopsis
Harry is the farmer's helper, while Johnny is the helper to the helper. Johnny has with him some bottles of "Pepo." A few drops of this wonderful liquid puts speed into anything. They drop some into the sheriff's motorcycle and it dashes away. A few drops in the chicken feed and the hens drop their eggs all over the place. At the barn dance Johnny pours some "Pepo" into the ice cream and the old ladies start flirting with the young men and the old boys shine up to the girls. Then they play leap frog and Harry and the farmer's daughter elope.
Smiles Synopsis
When their father is reported missing at the front during World War I, Jane and Katherine are stamped and sent by parcel post across the country to their Aunt Lucille Forrest in New Jersey. The two girls manage to smuggle their dog into the mail bag as well. Aunt Lucille is in love with Lt. Tom Hayes, but she is angry with him after he resigns his commission at the start of the war. She does not know that Tom is in the Secret Service, and she becomes jealous of a female spy whom Tom is trailing. Jane and Katherine's mischievous pranks finally assist in capturing the spy and the secret plans, and getting Aunt Lucille back together with Tom.
"Speed 'Em Up" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Smiles" offers its own unique cult appeal.
