The Love Trap Synopsis

A chorus girl loses her job and thus the room she owes back rent on, and ends up being rescued from the street by a dashing rich man. But his family isn't over-accepting of chorus girls joining their family.

His Royal Slyness Synopsis

An American book salesman (Lloyd) is persuaded to go to the kingdom of Thermosa to impersonate the Prince. He is greeted by a peasants' revolt before the real prince shows up to claim his throne and princess. The revolution succeeds, and the American is elected president of the new republic.

Verdict & Recommendation

"The Love Trap" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "His Royal Slyness" offers its own unique cult appeal.
