The Baby Synopsis
A young man leaves the country to come to the big city. He wins a thousand dollar reward for stopping a runaway horse. A family, consisting of a father and about eight children, have been dispossessed, and the eldest girl decides that the easiest way to find a home for her family is to marry the young man with the thousand-dollar reward. So the young farmer and his many in-laws take up their abode in a houseboat. The villain finally sets the houseboat adrift and the baby is rescued from a watery grave by our hero.
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.
"The Baby" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
