The No-Good Guy Synopsis

Jimmy Coghlan has developed such a notorious reputation for spending money, drinking and going to parties that his uncle and guardian, political boss "Big" Malone, insists that he settle down and get a job. Obediently, Jimmy opens a detective agency, but spends most of his time discouraging prospective clients. Finally, however, and partially against his own better judgment, Jimmy takes on a case, and to solve it he must join a band of criminals. Then, he falls in love with Lucia Andrada, one of the gang members, and discovers that the real leader of the gang is Malone himself. Jimmy denounces his uncle, after which he and Lucia, vowing to behave like responsible adults, begin making plans for their marriage.

The Last of the Ingrams Synopsis

Jules Ingram ( William Desmond ), the sole survivor of an old Puritan family, seeks solace and forgetfulness in drink. Unable to pay his debts, Jules is driven from his house when banker Rufus Moore ( Robert McKim ) forecloses on the mortgage. Offered shelter by Mercy Reed ( Margery Wilson ), a woman who in her youth naively sinned and has remained rejected by the community ever since, Jules begins to reform. Climbing his way back to respectability, Jules attends church with Mercy, causing a storm of protest. Moore's wife Agnes urges the mob to violence, and as they attempt to tar and feather Jules and Mercy, Mercy delivers an eloquent speech condemning Moore as her betrayer. The mob then takes Moore as their victim, leaving Jules and Mercy in peace.
