Beauty's Worth Synopsis
Prudence Cole is an unsophisticated Quaker girl being raised by her two aunts. Snobbish Henry Garrison flirts with Prudence, but actually disdains her for her lack of worldliness and savoir-faire. When Henry and his friends try to embarrass her at a posh resort, Prudence turns the tables on them.
The Spider Synopsis
Valerie St. Cyr, seizes a chance for excitement and money, deserts her infant daughter Joan and her impoverished husband and runs away to Paris with the Count Du Poissy. Years later, without knowing that they are mother and daughter, both Valerie and Joan fall in love with artist Julian St. Saens, who rejects the former but becomes engaged to the latter. Enraged, Valerie convinces the count to kidnap Joan, but after she is captured, Joan stabs the count to death. When Valerie learns that Joan is her daughter, she takes the blame for the murder and goes to the guillotine while Joan, still unaware that Valerie is her mother, makes plans with Julian for their marriage.
"Beauty's Worth" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Spider" offers its own unique cult appeal.
