- With a few buildings and a canopied grandstand visible on the far shore, we watch motorized boats pass us on the Hudson, then pass a rowboat with a large U.S. flag and three judges. Some of the racing boats have three passengers, some have one or two. A few spectators watch from small boats near the judges. Up river, we see a large sailboat at anchor. If these are races, they appear to be against the clock rather than head to head. This is not a one-take reel, but contains splices.
- "Shows a group of sailors and an officer at the stern. The flag runs out in a ball to the end of the staff, and, at the signal, is broken. Proudly the stars and stripes wave in the morning breeze, while the officer salutes. A very pretty picture of man-o-war life."
- "Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast." Not always, but sometimes. Hence it was that the dulcet tones produced by Heinie Holtzmeyer, the fiddler, and Orpheus of the little Holland Village, failed to tranquilize his wife Lena, who was rather a Xantippe than an Eurydice, and Heinie's head, like that of Socrates, often played the target for her pots and pans, and her aim was very good. The poor fellow sought solace at the public house, where he met the toss-pots of the town, and right merry souls were they. His fiddle made him a favorite with all, especially the barmaids, who rewarded his efforts with wine and kisses. His joys, however, are of short duration, for Lena appears, and, brandishing a rolling-pin, clears out the place. Heinie rushes home, packs his bag and, with his fiddle, decamps. He is followed by Lena until he reaches the wharf, where he finds himself, as it were, "between the devil and the deep sea," so he chooses the sea. Jumping into a row-boat he rows to an outgoing vessel, ships and is off for parts unknown. A storm is encountered, and the vessel is wrecked, but fortune favors and he is cast ashore. Heinie is about to give thanks for his deliverance when he is pounced upon by an army of ferocious cannibals, armed with clubs and excaliburs, now wouldn't that discombobulate you? Well, it looked like Stew à la Hollandaise for Heinie. And indeed, the black warriors are about to prepare a Dutch dinner, when the Queen does the Pocahontas act and, throwing herself on the prostrate form of Heinie, declares that they shall strike him only through her. So they desist, for such a thing would be impossible, as the Queen is so thick through, that the longest spear would hardly reach the victim. In fact, she is that obese she looks like a crowd. Heinie now takes his fiddle and discourses sweet music, which places him in such high esteem with the tribe that be experiences his own apotheosis, besides becoming the husband of the Queen and King of the islands. Lena, after three years of relentless endeavor, discovers his whereabouts, and bursts in unannounced upon his sunny serenity. Aha! Here is his chance to set even, and as she had kept him in hot water at Holland, he does as much for her now: hence, he consigns her to the stewpot. Moral: the worm will turn.

- It's late in the 1940's, and New York City is full of shady characters - none shadier than Spade Slade, the dubious black private dick. An office visit by a beautiful blonde, a mysteriously disappeared husband, and a love nest in a seedy hotel get the story rolling. A murder, a smoke filled shop in Chinatown, the Rich Millionaire's Club with its leggy chorines, threats, hotel clerks, compromising photos of lovers in the act, a shipboard slug fest and a blazing shootout, cheap plot twists and dark secrets all lead our "second rung nobody of a private eye" to the solution of another case, the reward money, and a roller coaster ride into the sunset with his best girl.
- Lieutenant Robbins, a young naval officer, sees Haydee the favored inmate of the sultan's harem and is smitten by her charms. She is interested in the handsome young American. She manages to write him a note that is delivered to him on the deck of his warship lying at anchor in a harbor on the Bosphorus Sea. Haydee implores him to effect her rescue, as the life is irksome. The adventurous young lieutenant enters into the task with a zest that is commendable and the attempt is fraught with disaster. Haydee is the favorite of the sultan, the most beautiful of the coterie of pretty woman, and a close espionage is kept over her movements. She sees Lieutenant Robbins over the wall of the garden and they have a clandestine meeting. The sultan's spies discover the tryst and the enamored young man is captured, confined in a dungeon and sentenced to be executed at daybreak. Haydee is incarcerated and the sultan is so enraged that she should have a secret love affair, he commands that she be sewn up in a gunny sack and cast into the sea, to suffer death by drowning. The girl is in despair and her lover is frantic. A woman in the harem who is fond of Haydee, sets her wits to work and when the girl is placed in the bag, manages to secrete a knife in the sack. The girl is thrown into the sea, but cuts her bonds and frees herself, swimming to the ship. Once aboard, she startles the commander and the jackies with her story. She is cared for and the relief expedition organizes. The Americans, having no love for the sultan and his troop, make a dash for the grounds and Lieutenant Robbins is liberated after a brief but one-sided struggle, in which the sailors fight like demons to effect the escape of their superior officer. They barely have time to reach the water when the sultan's men are reinforced and for a time the tide of battle seems to be against them. Boats are put off from the warship and there is an exciting marine engagement. Guns on the war vessel are trained on the scene and the gunnery is excellent. The dark men draw off and Lieutenant Robbins and his rescuers reach the ship unharmed, excited but jubilant. The love scene of the handsome officer and his Oriental sweetheart on the deck of the vessel is a pretty one and his brother officers envy him his adventure and its attendant result.
- In this latest Edison educational offering, interesting from beginning to end, we are impressed by the fact that man appears to have little part in the stupendous work. The massive and complicated machinery seems to act as though it were itself alive and endowed with intelligence. An electrically-operated bridge conveyor, 420 feet long, weighing 600 tons; a dipper-dredge feeding hydraulic disposal boat, cantilever cranes; a movable dam of bridge type (the first of its kind in America); concrete locks in operation, etc., are all shown and each adds its peculiar interest. Huge buckets raise tons of rock and dirt, opening and closing their tremendous jaws, enormous cranes swing, raise and lower, and a chain of curious conveyors on a belt slowly eats its way into the shore.

- A bachelor, with plenty of money and not a care in the world, suddenly finds himself involved in a sea of trouble. It all starts when his brother, who lives in Trenton, wires that his wife and baby are on their way from the mountains and that he will appreciate it if "Brother Jack" will meet them and see them across town. The bachelor, with a sigh, prepares to be gallant. He meets the woman and child, also much luggage, and escorts them across town to the Pennsylvania station. There he takes them aboard a train, and believes that his task is over. But the mother suddenly remembers some purchases she must make, and the good-natured bachelor is prevailed upon to stand guard over the child until she returns. The mother forgets the time and misses the train and the baby and its bachelor uncle start off together. But the mother is a woman of resource. She wires tips on caring for the baby to various stations along the line, and all would be well were it not for the uncle's awkwardness. But he annoys the other passengers, fights with the conductor when that official remonstrates with him, and is finally thrown off at a little station far from Trenton. It is a hot day and that, together with the necessity of singing to the baby, had made uncle thirsty. He sees a saloon nearby, but does not care to take baby there. Furthermore, the baby will not remain quiet all by itself. But finally fortune smiles on the uncle, although, as afterwards develops, it is a hypocritical smile. A dog is being shipped to Philadelphia in a dog basket, and is left on the platform near the pair of unfortunates. When no one is looking, the thirsty uncle ejects the astonished dog, and places the baby in a place of security. Then he goes off to the café and enjoys himself. Time passes rapidly in joy parlors, and trains do not wait for highballs. The car pulls in, the dog basket starts on its journey, and uncle is still in blissful ignorance of what is transpiring. The baggage man finds that instead of a live dog he has a squalling baby on his hands. Being a matter-of-fact individual, he hunts through the train, hoping that some woman will relieve him of his burden. One of the passengers is the baby's mother, and she greets her offspring with glad surprise and delight. And mother and child are reunited. The uncle sent his apologies by wire and then went for a long trip abroad.
