Conceit Synopsis
William Crombie, a wealthy man of weak character, becomes lost in the wilderness on a hunting trip and is sheltered by a rough woodsman (Bowles) who lives with a pretty girl named Jeanette. Crombie becomes infatuated with her but is afraid to fight the woodsman for her, and she views him with contempt. Returning home, Crombie finds his neglected wife involved in an affair and decides to make a man of himself; after developing himself physically, he thrashes his wife's lover. He then seeks the woodsman to accept his challenge, but finding him near death, he pays for his medical care. Then, seeing that Jeanette really loves Bowles, he paves their way to a happy future. Returning to his hunting lodge, Crombie is surprised to find his wife awaiting his return.
Ginger Synopsis
"Ginger" tells the story of Ginger Carson (Violet Palmer), a girl who has been trained to be a thief by her criminal father. While helping him rob a house, both are arrested. After her father is sent to prison, Ginger is adopted by the judge (Paul Everton) who sentenced him. When she grows up, she is torn between two men who love her--Bob Trowbridge (Gareth Hughes), the son of the judge, who adopted her, and Tim Mooney (Raymond Hackett), a childhood companion from her criminal past.
"Conceit" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Ginger" offers its own unique cult appeal.
