Border Justice Synopsis
Texas Ranger Joe Wellard is assigned to bring in an outlaw known as Phillip Gerard, who turns out to be Joe's brother using an assumed name. Phillip is apparently killed when he falls over a cliff in a struggle with Joe. Later, Joe discovers that Texas Ranger Captain Robert Maitland is allowing Angus Bland, a notorious gang-leader, to move illegal goods across the Mexican border, because he is indebted to him for his daughter's education. Joe is in love with the daughter, Mary. Joe resigns from the Rangers and goes after Bland, who has kidnapped Mary. Along the way, he finds that his brother is still alive.
Cynthia of the Minute Synopsis
While in New York seeking work, Cynthia, a young English girl, meets Bruce Crittenden and George Rhode who introduce her to Madame Savarin, a wealthy woman seeking a companion for a sea voyage. She hires Cynthia, and while at sea, Cynthia discovers that Bruce is the ship's purser. Cynthia's father was a famous wireless expert who taught her how to read code, which enables her to overhear a plot to sink the ship and steal Mrs. Savarin's jewels. Soon after, the crew mutinies, and while Rhode and Bruce fight the crew, Cynthia sounds the alarm. As he is attempting to foil the jewel thieves, Bruce falls overboard, and Cynthia swims to his rescue with the jewels strapped to her back. They are rescued by a government patrol boat and taken back to New York where Cynthia and Bruce are married.
"Border Justice" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Cynthia of the Minute" offers its own unique cult appeal.
