The Battling Kangaroo Synopsis

Mildred, a tightrope walker, is somewhat tied to the villain of the circus and her own life, because her father owes him one thousand dollars. This is just the amount that Al, the villainous heavyweight, offers anyone who can stay three rounds with him. Sweetheart Lige, a taxicab driver, doesn't measure up to the task, but a boxing kangaroo he encounters on the steamship docks does. Hence, defeat for the boxer and villain and freedom for Mildred, with presumable marriage to Lige.

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.
