The Brown Derby Synopsis
Tommy Burke, an easy-going young plumber, is left a brown derby by his recently deceased uncle. The derby is said to bring good luck to its wearer, and it's not long before its powers apparently start paying off--Tommy finds himself engaged to a pretty young girl from a wealthy family. However, things aren't quite the way Tommy thinks they are.
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 Brown Derby" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "An Amateur Devil" offers its own unique cult appeal.
