The Sky Jumper Synopsis

A flippant remark causes Van to be challenged by a crack ski jumper. Van is scared, but the rival gives him a push and he takes the slide against his will, making a record jump. He loses his nerve when it comes to entering the cross country run and climbs a hill to get away. A bear chases him and he makes a getaway by using two boards for skis. Once he gets started he can't stop and catches up with his rival, who slings him off the course into a tree. Van circles the tree several times and, unable to bold on, is flung down the hill, crossing the finish line first and winning the prize.

Mary's Ankle Synopsis

While walking along the street one day, Arthur P. Hampton, an impoverished young doctor, and his chums, Stub Masters and Johnny Stokes, are persuaded to part with their last remaining funds by tag day solicitor Mary Jane Smith, with whom the doctor promptly falls in love. Doc's friends then hit upon a get-rich-quick scheme. Knowing that his Uncle George has promised a large sum of money upon his nephew's marriage, they persuade Doc to send out fake wedding invitations naming Mary Jane as the blushing bride. Uncle George, elated at the good news, writes to Mary Jane's aunt, Angelica Burns, an old sweetheart, to invite Mary Jane and Angelica to be his guests on an ocean voyage. Meanwhile, Mary Jane pays a visit to the doctor's office and, upon seeing the wedding invitations, becomes so flustered that she trips and sprains her ankle. Doc comes to her rescue and then begs her to pose as his wife. She agrees, but at ship-side, Stub and Johnnie confess all to Uncle George, who flies into a rage until Doc announces that he and Mary Jane have chosen a wedding at sea.
