Beauty-Proof Synopsis

Corporal Philip Steele of the Northwest Mounted Police, a notorious woman hater and supposedly "beauty-proof," is ordered to arrest Thorpe, a fugitive charged with the attempted murder of man named Hodge, alias Garson. Thorpe's beautiful sister, Carol, is determined to exonerate her brother, and directs her henchmen to abduct the corporal, place him in a box, and hide him in Hodge's cabin. Aware that Philip is in the room, Carol confronts Hodge about his unwelcomed efforts to seduce her, and reveals that her brother was attempting to kill him in her defense. As Hodge makes another advance on Carol, Philip breaks free and recognizes the villain as the same man who earlier robbed him of his own wife. Philip is determined to capture Hodge alive and deters all attempts on the criminal's life as he pursues his quarry. Hodge is killed in the ensuing fight, after which Philip discovers that he has fallen in love with Carol.

Rose of the South Synopsis

Mr. Curtis returns to his Alma mater and regales students with stories about the Civil War, which ended fifty years before. He tells them about his college friends, Dick Randolph and Watkins, who were at first rivals for Marian - who far preferred Dick - and then rivals on the battlefield. Watkins, a Union officer, captured Dick, a Confederate, but Marian helped her sweetheart escape. Watkins and Dick were then wounded in the same battle and died in each other's arms after asserting their friendship and forgetting their past differences. Back in the present, an aged Marian joins the group. She dies while listening to Mr. Curtis, and fifty years after she and Dick had been lovers in the flesh, her spirit goes to join his.
