Compromise Synopsis

A woman of high morals, Joan Trevore expects to find in her marriage to Alan Thayer the happiness that has long eluded her. She and Alan are still on their honeymoon, however, when Nathalie Trevore, Joan's spoiled and selfish younger sister, sets her cap for Alan and successfully vamps him. Alan later boards a yacht for a business appointment and is "shanghaied" by Nathalie and her friends, who take him ashore so that Nathalie may triumph over Joan at the honeymoon cottage. Joan horsewhips Nathalie. A cyclone wrecks the cottage, and Alan saves Joan's life, leading to a reconciliation between them.

The Whirlpool Synopsis

Wanting to impress the beautiful Bella Cavallo, whose stepfather Ferris forces her to act as a decoy in his Tenderloin gambling establishment, Richard Brettner commits a minor robbery. Judge Reverton pardons the love-struck young man but regrets his decision when Richard is arrested for murder. Through his physician, Dr. Comyns, the judge meets Bella and soon makes her his wife. The doctor, however, tells Reverton about Bella's profession, thereby causing him to distrust his new wife. Reverton returns home to find Bella planning a night meeting with Arthur Hallam, the murdered man's nephew. Expecting the worst, the judge soon realizes that Bella plotted only to beguile Arthur into a confession that he, and not Richard, committed the murder. Richard is released and the married couple is reunited.
