The Title Holder Synopsis
Chuck, an unscrupulous training-camp hanger-on, and a would-be Follies queen, plot to have the latter photographed with the Champion for publicity's sake. Meanwhile, Jack's pants having been burnt by the careless ironing of Beans, his valet, he borrows a pair from an old, penniless actor. After considerable arranging, Chuck's cameraman manages to get a photo of the girl - she has faked a faint - in the man's arms. He has photographed the wrong man, however, as Jack has rushed to get a glass of water for the girl, leaving her draped across Chuck's shoulder. Later, Jack manages to repay the old actor's kindness by saving him from being thrown out for non-payment of rent, much to Chuck's discomfiture, as he had been given the room in order to be near the champ for further deviltry. He is further discomfited to find that a satchel he has found and used as baggage to get into the hotel, contained $20,000. But this he finds out - after the champ has recovered his bag.
No Mother to Guide Him Synopsis
A timid man's domineering wife keeps catching him at what seem in be compromising situations with pretty young women, and she won't believe they're as innocent as he claims they are.
"The Title Holder" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "No Mother to Guide Him" offers its own unique cult appeal.
