The Man Next Door Synopsis
Wealthy cattleman Colonel Wright moves east with his foreman, Curley, and his daughter, Bonnie Bell, to give her the benefits of education and city living. They take up residence next to the Wisners, a prominent society family; and Bonnie Bell falls in love with Jimmy Wisner, whom she believes to be the gardener. Colonel Wright not only opposes Bonnie Bell's match with a gardener--he also carries on a feud with Mr. Wisner. Jimmy and Bonnie Bell elope, Jimmy reveals his identity, and the couple is warmly received by both fathers.
His Own Home Town Synopsis
Jimmy Duncan, the son of the well-respected Reverend Duncan, takes over his local newspaper as manager. He takes on the criminal element in town with great vigor, until he realizes that his own father is in league with those devils.
"The Man Next Door" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "His Own Home Town" offers its own unique cult appeal.
