Frank Griffin
Slim Summerville, Ethel Teare
Her First Kiss, where the glamorous Ethel Teare trades her fancy gowns for the rough attire of Minnie Spuds, the gawky farm girl who Chester tries to swindle. Whether dangling from a ladder, teetering over a cliff in a horse-and-buggy, or wielding a mop, Minnie may be from the sticks but never misses a beat.

The Blundering Blacksmiths
Lloyd Hamilton
Lloyd Hamilton, Bud Duncan
It is Sunday in Cobweb Corners. The ring of hammer in our hero's blacksmith shop is silent. The melody of a hymn steals out of the village church. The village belle is flirting with the simple-hearted smith. It is Monday, and the village belle is plunged in sorrow. Hiram Hardheart demands her hand in marriage. He will foreclose the mortgage. Enter the smith. Exit the villain. Fate opens the way to pay off the mortgage. The smith challenges One Punch Murph. They fight for a purse of $1,000. The village belle in boy's clothing sits near the ring, to urge her sturdy champion on. Round one. Saved by the bell. Round two. The blacksmith knocks out everybody, including the referee. Hardheart gets the money and the smith gets the girl.

Be Reasonable
Roy Del Ruth
Billy Bevan, Mildred June
Billy is a bit of a masher. He meets a lady on the beach and immediately gives her an expensive gift (some pearls). The problems are that she has her eyes set on the handsome lifeguard and the collection agents either want Billy to pay for this necklace or return it. Well, she naturally doesn't want to give up the pearls, so Billy decides to break in to her house to steal them (and a few other items while he's at it).
