Battling Buddy Synopsis
Buddy West (Buddy Roosevelt) inherits a ranch but a clause in the will provides the ranch shall go to the foreman, Pete Hall (William Lowery), if Buddy is found incompetent, which leads to foul play by Hall. Buddy escapes from an asylum where he has been sent and returns to vindicate himself and free his uncle's daughter, Dorothy Parker (Violet La Plante), who is being held prisoner by Hall and his henchmen. Buddy wins out and also wins the hand of Dorothy.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"Battling Buddy" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
