A Light in the Window Synopsis
Dorothy, the unsophisticated daughter of Johann Graff, a stern, protective cobbler, dreams of entering café society after a night out with a friend. One night, Dorothy meets Bert Emmonds; they marries after three dates, and the outraged Johann disowns her. When Bert is falsely arrested for stealing an automobile, Dorothy is forced to work as a cigarette girl. She and Bert are later reunited, and Johann forgives his daughter.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"A Light in the Window" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
