The Raspberry Romance Synopsis
Ben is to marry Blanche, who is somewhat heftier than himself, and tries to make good as a singer on the old home town Opera House stage, being greeted with vegetables. Circumstantial evidence points to his having vamped a married woman, and the husband pursues him onto the stage. There, the audience applauds Ben's frenzied attempts at escape and the husband's pistol shots, thinking them drama. Finally Ben's gigantic wife-to-be effects a rescue.
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.
"His Royal Slyness" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
