- Montauk, East Hampton, New York, 2016. Peter Beard discusses his work as a photographer, artist and diarist before reminiscing about his attempt to make a documentary in the summer of 1972 with his friend Lee Radziwill (younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis), focusing on their childhood and the 20th- century history of East Hampton.
- Dustin (Tom Sullivan) is the leader of a rock band on the brink of super-stardom. Until now they have juggled their music career with cocaine smuggling. The musicians, and their manager Raf (Jack Palance), wish to sever ties with organized-crime, leave the drug world behind and concentrate on music. However they are coerced into doing one last job for the Mob. They lose the $2 million of cocaine, and find themselves marked men unless they can fulfill their obligations.
- Two sisters are orphaned by drunks and are left to fend for themselves. One of them disappears into the sea, and the other forms a gang, The Rockaway Ruffnecks, New York City surfers. They run afoul of a local mob boss, and go on a violent odyssey intermittently giving way to fantasy surf sessions.
- This Sportscope entry features two sportsmen fishing for striped bass (aka striper) in different manners and locations.
- "This picture has been very popular wherever it has been shown on the Biograph. To begin with, the film is unusually fine photographically, and the picture is taken from a point of view which shows the immense distances of Camp Wikoff with its multitude of tents in the background. The President, with Vice-President Hobart and Secretary of War Russell A. Alger, appear in an open carriage escorted by a large number of officers, notable among whom are Gen. Wheeler, Gen. Gates, and Col. John Jacob Astor. This picture is brought to a rather humorous ending by the efforts of a newspaper photographer to get Col. Astor to pose for a picture. He is unsuccessful, and as the gallant colonel gallops away, the photographer's chagrin is apparent."
- "This picture was taken in front of Gen. Wheeler's headquarters at Camp Wikoff during Gen. Alger's tour of inspection of the camp. The two distinguished military men are seen overlooking the immense camp ground, and then turning and walking toward the camera. The negative is very fine photographically, and the portraiture unexcelled."
- "This regiment recruited from the neighborhood of President McKinley's home in Canton, is one of the few volunteer organizations which went through the Campaign before Santiago. The regiment is shown at Camp Wikoff, headed by Col. (now Congressman) Charles Dick, and presents a very brave appearance, although the men are in a sad condition from fever and exposure."
- "Of the thousand and more men who left New York for the Cuban Campaign, scarcely three hundred were able to shoulder their rifles to march before the Biograph camera at Camp Wikoff. The picture shows many of the companies reduced to seven or eight men, and the whole regiment, rank and file is in a sad condition. The picture is remarkably fine in every respect."
- When John Devant was a young man he fell violently in love with a girl in the little Long Island town wherein he spent his summers. He persuaded her to marry him and took her back to the city. The girl, although beautiful in her native country, faded perceptibly in the city. After a time Devant tired of her. A short trip abroad, ostensibly for business purposes, was lengthened by him first to a month, then to six months, then to a year. The tired wife, friendless and alone in the city, waited until her heart grew cold and dead. Then she crept back to the home of her childhood, taking with her Devant's child, a little girl whom she called Janet. The good salt air was too late to save Mrs. Devant. She died the day after she arrived, and Captain Billy, who had loved her all his life, swore that he would protect her little daughter. Eighteen years later Janet had grown into a beautiful woman. One day she discovered a secret way of getting into one of the beautiful houses belonging to the summer colony. In the library of this house she used to sit for days at a time wading through the splendid collection of books. One day John Devant, the owner of the house, came to it unexpectedly and surprised her there. He was momentarily startled by the girl's appearance, listened with interest to her explanation and readily granted her permission to use the books at any time. Richard Thornley, a friend of Mr. Devant, came upon Janet one day on the dunes and, struck by her pulchritude, begged to be allowed to paint her. An intimacy sprang up between them that was rather a frank, buoyant comradeship than anything else. The arrival of a young lady from the city spoiled it all. She discovered Janet waiting for the artist in his studio and made several unpleasant observations. Janet, with a sudden realization of what the artist really thought of her, dismissed him with a few curt words and he left for the city, tormented by conflicting desires. A short absence from Janet showed him that he could not live without her. He returned and clasped Janet in his arms and told her he would have none other for his wife. A chance photograph led to Devant's discovery that Janet was his daughter. The remorseful father welcomed Janet and Richard with open arms and promised himself to atone for his harshness to the mother by his love for the child.
- "This is one of the most famous regiments in the United States service. It was in the first line of the charge at San Juan Hill; served with distinction throughout the hardest fighting in the Philippines, and was the first regiment to be ordered to China, and in the fighting there, was in the thick of it [the Boxer Rebellion]. This picture shows all that was left of the regiment at Camp Wikoff, after the Cuban campaign."
- "This battery, under command of Capt. Allan Capron, served with distinction and bravery throughout the Cuban Campaign, and our picture shows one of the gun squads, under command of Lieut. Kenly, in an illustration of how the men went into action on the Cuban battlefields. This picture is full of dash, and excellent photographically."
- "This is a continuation of First Battalion of the 2nd Massachusetts Volunteers. It shows the companies which came from Worcester, Mass., and vicinity."
- "This picture was taken from the highest point of the camp opposite the General's headquarters, shortly after the army arrived from Cuba. Gives a very comprehensive view of the entire ground, and is so very fine photographically that even the cavalry camp three miles distant is plainly visible."
- "This regiment of volunteers is one of the few which went through the horrors of the Cuban Campaign, and this picture taken at Montauk shows the remnants of the 1st Battalion the day after it landed from the transports. The men are extremely weak, and their khaki uniforms torn and bedraggled. United States Senator Hoar appears in the background among the spectators who are watching them march by."
- "Another picture showing all that was left of a famous organization of United States Regulars after the Cuban Campaign. The men are shown marching down a slight incline in front of their camp, and the evidences of the hardships they have undergone are very plain."
- "This picture is a rear view of the regiment just as it disembarks from the transport. The men are loaded down with curious and trophies, and many of them are so weak from fever and from wounds that their comrades are obliged to support them as they stagger along."
- "This picture shows Col. Roosevelt, accompanied by Lieut. Greenway and other prominent officers of the Rough Riders, galloping up to his headquarters, where he dismounts and walks into his tent. This view was taken in the camp with the Rough Riders, and is an excellent picture of Col. Roosevelt in the environment he loves so well."
- "This shows the famous regiment, of which we were privileged to take so many excellent pictures at Governor's Island before the Spanish-American War. This scene, however, is a sad contrast to the dress parade at the post on Governor's Island. Only a mere handful of men are left, and they are battle-scarred and worn."
