The Anvil Chorus Synopsis

Snub goes to visit his bride's people. Marie has four husky brothers who shoe horses, spit fire, and play ball with an anvil. They take Snub right into their family and treat him like a brother; but the anvil that they throw nearly kills him. A good laugh is produced when Snub is sent flying and you see him cross the state lines of Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and California. His last stop is the Pacific Ocean. He manages to return, however, and again joins his four brothers in the anvil chorus.

Mary's Ankle Synopsis

While walking along the street one day, Arthur P. Hampton, an impoverished young doctor, and his chums, Stub Masters and Johnny Stokes, are persuaded to part with their last remaining funds by tag day solicitor Mary Jane Smith, with whom the doctor promptly falls in love. Doc's friends then hit upon a get-rich-quick scheme. Knowing that his Uncle George has promised a large sum of money upon his nephew's marriage, they persuade Doc to send out fake wedding invitations naming Mary Jane as the blushing bride. Uncle George, elated at the good news, writes to Mary Jane's aunt, Angelica Burns, an old sweetheart, to invite Mary Jane and Angelica to be his guests on an ocean voyage. Meanwhile, Mary Jane pays a visit to the doctor's office and, upon seeing the wedding invitations, becomes so flustered that she trips and sprains her ankle. Doc comes to her rescue and then begs her to pose as his wife. She agrees, but at ship-side, Stub and Johnnie confess all to Uncle George, who flies into a rage until Doc announces that he and Mary Jane have chosen a wedding at sea.
