The Cloudhopper Synopsis

The action opens in a charity bazaar in the heroine's home and her mischievous little brother is responsible for a lot of the comedy. Larry plays a dual role, that of the hero and of a chap who is too fond of his hootch. A couple of conspirators try to steal a secret formula. The crooks steal the formula and escape in an aero. The heroine follows in another machine. Larry climbs a rope ladder and gets aboard. Then follows some cleverly handled scenes in which thrills are mixed with comedy with Larry fighting the crooks and coming near falling from the plane, and the supports and wires give way with him. Of course he wins out.

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.
