The Intrusion of Isabel Synopsis
Forced to sell their family's Southern home when their father dies bankrupt, Isabel and Bert Trevor come to New York. After many disappointments, Bert finally finds work as a valet to wealthy young Jack Craig, though he tells Isabel he is Craig's partner. One night while Craig is drunk, Bert discovers a roll of bills in his pocket and takes the money. Fearing arrest, Bert goes to Montana, where he secures a good job. Not knowing where Bert went, Isabel and Mammy move into what they think is Bert's half of Craig's house. Craig kindheartedly allows them to remain, and falls in love with Isabel although his sister disapproves and an adventuress, Lois Randall, claims he signed a marriage license during a wild wine party. When Bert returns, he sees Randall exposed by Craig's brother-in-law, a prosecuting attorney, as "Marrying Mary," purveyor of similar previous matrimonial schemes. Craig discreetly accepts Bert's apologies and repayment, then marries Isabel.
Miss Jackie of the Army Synopsis
Young Jackie Kernwood, the daughter of the colonel commanding an army post, is bored with the routines of post life, and to break the monotony she organizes a girls' brigade, of which her father disapproves. When the colonel forces her to disband the group, she makes up her mind to run away and become a nurse in the Red Cross. Before she can do that, however, she stumbles across evidence of a spy ring headed by an officer on the post that is plotting to blow up a troop train--and it looks like the chief spy is her boyfriend, Lt. Adair.
"The Intrusion of Isabel" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Miss Jackie of the Army" offers its own unique cult appeal.
