A Son of the Immortals Synopsis
General Stampoff takes control in Kosnovia, and to insure his position as the country's strong man, he installs Prince Alexis Delgrade, the idle son of Prince Michael, as the titular ruler. Alexis surprises everyone, however, and shocks the reactionary Stampoff, by instituting a series of democratic reforms. However, his public success cannot make up for his personal problems, as Alexis is unable to marry his sweetheart, Joan Cameron, because she was born in America and thus could not reign as queen. Then, Alexis discovers that his mother came from Indiana, thereby making him as much an American as a Kosnovian, and also invalidating his claim to the throne. As a result, he abdicates and marries Joan, while Michael, vowing to maintain his son's democratic policies, takes over as king.
Called Back Synopsis
Young Anthony March, living in London, inherits a considerable amount of money, but his crooked uncle Dr. Manuel Ceneri steals it. When Anthony gets suspicious, Ceneri's partner in crime, Macari, persuades Ceneri to kill him. However, just as they commit the murder a blind man, Gilbert Vaughan, mistakenly enters the house. Anthony's sister Pauline sees the murder, faints and loses her memory. Thinking they have gotten away with the murder, Ceneri and Macari soon find out that they're in for a shock.
"A Son of the Immortals" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Called Back" offers its own unique cult appeal.
