DIRECTOR:Dr. John Pearly is an affable turn-of-the-century con man who sells a patent medicine that is mostly whiskey. He resurrects a broken down steamboat with a makeshift crew and challenges the respectable but arrogant Captain Eli to a winner-take-all river race. Pearly hopes his nephew Duke will serve as pilot, but he stands accused of murdering a 'swamp rat' who threatened the honor of swamp girl Fleety Belle. After Duke is arrested, Pearly tries to raise money for a lawyer by displaying a wax museum aboard ship. Ultimately he gambles it all in the river race to Baton Rouge, where he hopes to find a witness whose treatment will free Duke.

DIRECTOR:F.W. Murnau
Lem goes to Chicago to sell the wheat his family has grown on their farm in Minnesota. There he meets the waitress Kate. They fall in love and get married before going back to the farm. Kate is accepted by Lem's mother and kid sister but is rejected by his father, who believes she married for the money. (And the fact that Lem didn't get a fair price for the wheat is her fault too). The reapers arrive and quickly they make things even more complicated by making their move on Kate. Lem misunderstands the situation and believes Kate is actually interested. In despair Kate leaves the farm and Lem goes looking for her.
