Crashin' Thru Synopsis
Rancher Jim Blake narrowly escapes being gored by an angry bull, thanks to his partner, Saunders, who loses the use of his legs as a result. Celia and her daughter, Diane, arrive at the ranch in response to Jim's advertisement for a wife. Although Jim declines Celia's offer, he allows her and Diane to stay at the ranch. Cons Saunders blames his father's condition on Jim and partners with a dancer named Gracia, who seeks revenge against the rancher because he is oblivious to her charms. She plots with Cons to steal Jim's cattle, leaving him unable to repay the money he owes his Uncle Benedict. When Uncle Benedict is murdered, Cons and Blake blame each other, until it is discovered that Gracia is the culprit. Saunders recovers under Celia's care, and Jim finds love with Diane.
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.
"Crashin' Thru" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
