A ranch owner attempts to bring about the capture of a wild horse named "Wild Emma," whose vamping qualities are creating havoc among the ranch horses. In response to a letter requesting help from a correspondence school, Jimmie arrives on the scene with his valet and on making "Emma's" acquaintance, they immediately become fast friends, much to the consternation of the ranch employees.
A Kiss for Susie Synopsis
Susie is the daughter of a very good bricklayer. The lad who loves her is a very rich lad, as all lads should be, but, alas are not. To win her, he poses as a hod-carrier, certainly an unromantic disguise for a wooer. His mother has social aspirations for him, with Newport as a base of action, but what cares he? He loves the bricklayer's daughter. Is it not simple? It is. Simple, but sweet. Later Susie gets rich by means of a legacy, and the bricklayer's family moves into opulent quarters. Then sweet Susie is elegantly-gowned, but no happier. What are mere dollars to sweet Susie? The main situation in which Susie figures is one of finance. Seeing that dollars mean unhappiness, she plans to induce her father to invest in the stock market and to let him believe that he has lost all. This scheme succeeds in bringing the picture to its ideal end, and Susie marries the lad who posed as the hod-carrier. - Picture Play Magazine 1917.
"Whoa, Emma!" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Kiss for Susie" offers its own unique cult appeal.
