The Weakling Synopsis
Henry portrays the timid, be-spectacled youth, afraid to take part in the athletic events which are in progress at the college, but after much persuasion by his sister enters several events, which he wins, through accidents, much to the discomfiture of the college "bully" who, angry because he has lost, proceeds to make life miserable for Henry. He gathers together his friends and after beating up Henry they ship him to a hospital. His antics at the hospital after being put under the influence of ether will cause many a laugh. He escapes in an aeroplane with the "bully" as passenger and proceeds to execute numerous fancy figures in the air, due to his lack of knowledge concerning the motor, finally surrendering his place as pilot to the "bully," who causes the machine to take a nose-dive to the earth with disastrous results.
In the River Synopsis
A mail-order bride arrives at a Maine lumber camp but doesn't like her prospective husband.
"In the River" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
