Stepping Some Synopsis
Baby Peggy is an only child. Her mother has not heard from her husband in months; he has been reported lost at sea. Peggy, dressed up as a messenger boy, ekes a meager living for the family. Peg is sent to deliver a message to a family high up on the hills and, after walking about three thousand steps to the people's house, Peg delivers the wire. While there they learn Peggy is their grandchild and send for her mother. Peggy is up to all kinds of mischief - she invites all the messenger boys to the swimming pool; chases the butler all over the place. Meanwhile a bogus count is making love to Peggy's mother, urged on by the wealthy parents-in-law. The father, saved at sea, returns home to find his family gone. He learns where they are and arrives just as Peggy is getting a sound spanking, and the bogus count is trying to kiss his wife. Everything is settled, and the family is reunited once again.
Tell It to the Marines Synopsis
After a busy day of playing pranks on their father's servants and guests, Harry Williams' daughters Jane and Katherine tumble into bed and fall asleep. Having seen a film depicting World War I fighting in Europe, little Jane dreams that two armies, consisting entirely of mechanical dolls, are advancing against each other in battle. While Trik leads the German troops, who are guilty of committing a score of atrocities, Trak heads the Allied army, which ultimately wins the war. In the end, Jane awakens with a start to find that it has all been a dream.
