Jim Blazes falls in love with Amy Van Clayton when he meets her in a lumber camp. In New York, Amy discovers that her brother is in danger of being jailed for stealing from Jim, who is his boss. To protect her brother, Amy marries Jim, but he returns to the lumber camp alone because he feels that Amy does not love him. Amy follows; later, when Jim's life is in danger, she finds that she really does love him.
By Hook or Crook Synopsis
Pampered Frederic "Freddy" Pritchard, warned by his father that he must work or be disinherited, learns how to crack safes to help his girlfriend Gloria Nevins, whose villainous uncle holds security for the family jewels, as well as the right to vote on the disposition of the Nevins Motor Works. After Freddy steals the papers with the aid of his valet Smithson, Gloria's uncle locks him in a warehouse to prevent him from attending a crucial stockholders' meeting. Freddy escapes and saves the factory for Mrs. Nevins, who gives him power of proxy. Pritchard, Sr., pleased with his son, consents to Freddy's marriage to Gloria.
"The Love Bandit" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "By Hook or Crook" offers its own unique cult appeal.
