Avalanche Synopsis
Jack Dunton, an honest gambler, discovers that his ward, Verde, wants to study mine engineering, and he begins to cheat at cards in order to finance the boy's education. Returning from school 3 years later, Verde begins to lose himself in the wild life of the town, and Jack, determined to get them both out of town, breaks off with his mistress, Grace. In revenge, Grace vamps Verde, and the two old friends come to blows; Verde and Grace elope, and Jack goes after them, saving their lives in an avalanche. This near catastrophe brings everyone to his senses: Verde goes back to Kitty, a storekeeper's pert daughter, and Grace and Jack renew their relationship.
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.
"Avalanche" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
