Spuds Synopsis
Jimmy parks his bicycle against a water hydrant, in spite of a policeman's warning. Drawing a potato sack over the hydrant he fills in the top with potatoes, and goes inside the house to answer his call. The cop returns and seeing the potatoes offers a passing Italian fifty cents for them. The Italian agrees, but when the cop tries to lift the sack the top of the hydrant comes off and then the fun begins.
An Amateur Devil Synopsis
Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
"Spuds" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
