Beyond the Rio Grande Synopsis
Having quit their old gang and gone straight, Bert Allen and Joe Kemp finally own their own ranch after three years, but Joe robs the Riverton bank of the Green River Dam payroll - using Bert's horse, gun and gloves and leaving behind Bert's hat. Bert escapes across the Mexican border and there falls in love with Betty Burke, while Bill, Al Mooney and Dick pursue the $5000 reward for Bert and the robbery loot held by Joe. Bert offers to surrender to the sheriff if the reward money will be spent on surgery for Betty's blind mother.
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.
"Beyond the Rio Grande" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
