A Daughter of Two Worlds Synopsis

When Jennie Malone is accused of forgery, her father Black Jerry, the proprietor of an underworld dive, realizes that his daughter deserves a better living environment. With the aid of her Uncle George, he arranges for Jennie to attend boarding school under an assumed name. Once there, Jennie falls in love with Kenneth Harrison, her roommate's brother. Kenneth's father has an unscrupulous business partner named Sam Conway, who kills a man and frames Harry Edwards, an old friend of Jennie's, for the murder. To save Edwards from the electric chair, Jennie is faced with the quandary of testifying in his behalf and thus revealing her past, or remaining silent and sealing his death. Jennie chooses the former, but Kenneth forgives her and all ends happily.

The Lash Synopsis

One of the customs in the Breton island of St. Batiste is the lashing of any woman involved in a extra-marital affair. As a result, when Sidonie (Marie Doro) starts an affair with English vacationer Warren Harding (Elliott Dexter), the townsfolk prepare to mete out punishment. To avoid it, Sidonie elopes with Warren, but when she finds him making love to another woman, her first response is conditioned by her upbringing, and she attacks the woman with a whip. Afterward, Sidonie returns alone to St. Batiste, and gets ready to accept her lashing. Just before her public humiliation, however, Warren arrives and refuses to let the whipping take place, after which he pledges to remain faithful to Sidonie.
