Beyond the Rockies Synopsis
Con Benteen, an undercover agent for the Cattlemen's Protective Association, rides into a lawless town to investigate a band of cattle rustlers known as the Cloaked Riders. He joins the gang and gets the goods on Cottle, the gang's leader. Benteen is eventually identified as a legal officer and tied up in a shack containing live explosives. He escapes and rounds up the rustlers, winning for himself the love of Flossie, a dance hall girl.
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.
"Beyond the Rockies" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
