Blow Your Own Horn Synopsis
Jack Dunbar, needing a job, meets millionaire Nicholas Small, who gives him advice and presents him as a colleague. Small would like his daughter, Anne, to marry inventor Gillen Jolyon. Dunbar perfects and successfully demonstrates Jolyon's wireless power transmitting device in spite of Small's attempts to sabotage it, and he rescues Anne when she is caught in an electric power fracas caused by her father's villainy. Anne breaks her engagement with Jolyon and marries Dunbar.
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.
