The Little Wild Girl Synopsis
Vacationing in the Canadian Northwest, a playwright and a songwriter both fall in love with Marie Cleste and take her back with them to New York when her father and her sweetheart apparently die in a forest fire. (The father did perish; the sweetheart escaped, crippled, with his blinded Indian guide into the forest to hide his infirmities.) Marie becomes a Broadway star, only to find it necessary to leave New York hurriedly under suspicion of the murder of one of her "angels." (The real murderer escapes, but is later captured in the Northwest.) Returning to her hometown, Marie finds considerable local opposition to her presence; but she finally finds happiness in the arms of her sweetheart, who has returned also, inherited a fortune, and recovered the use of his legs.
Mile-a-Minute Morgan Synopsis
Paul Bunyon, disowned son of a millionaire, and his pal, Philo Brown, get jobs (under assumed names) in a lumber yard owned by Bunyon, Sr. Paul falls in love with Patricia Jennings, the manager's daughter. Philo's boasts that Paul is a fighter, known as "Mile a Minute Morgan," get him a match with a professional. Paul intends to skip out, but Patricia persuades him to stay. When Kenneth Winster steals the purse money and abducts Patricia, Paul knocks out his opponent, chases Winster, recovers the money, saves Patricia, and wins his father's respect.
"The Little Wild Girl" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Mile-a-Minute Morgan" offers its own unique cult appeal.
