A Lost Lady Synopsis
A spoiled young girl manages to snag a wealthy older man as her husband, but soon becomes bored. She finally leaves him, but doesn't really know what she wants. A young man who is a friend--and, unbeknownst to her, an admirer--takes her in.
Filling His Own Shoes Synopsis
Finding himself broke and out of a job in Paris, American William Ruggles joins the Turkish army and is sent to fight in its war in the Balkans. During a particularly hard-fought battle, he rescues a wounded Turkish soldier. Before he dies the Turk, out of gratitude, leaves William his fortune--but with the proviso that he take care of the Turk's three beautiful young wards. After he leaves the army, William and the three young girls--Roxana, Rosa and Bulbul--move to Paris, where William meets up with young Ruth Downing, the daughter of his former employer. They fall in love, but Roxana--who is also in love with William--is determined that nothing will stand in the way of her getting him and she will do whatever it takes to achieve that end.
"A Lost Lady" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Filling His Own Shoes" offers its own unique cult appeal.
