In Popcorn with Maple Syrup, we meet up with some smooth operators like "10 per cent Ernie" Shipman and his wife Nell (whose eye-popping nudity in 1919's Back to God's Country ensured the picture's success), not to mention pioneering entrepreneurs and inventors such as George and Andrew Holland, who convinced a skeptical Thomas Edison that his Vitascope projection system had a future.
