Curtain at Eight Synopsis
An elderly detective sets out to find who murdered a stage actor.
The Tar Heel Warrior Synopsis
Colonel Dabney Mills, whose Southern plantation is heavily mortgaged, makes a trip to New York hoping to borrow money from James Adams, his granddaughter Anna Belle's husband. When the colonel arrives, he learns that Adams's entire capital is tied up in a big stock deal, and that he is therefore unable to lend the colonel any assistance. While Adams is away, one of his business partners entrusts the colonel with $5,000 to retain for his grandson-in-law. Desperate, the colonel speculates in cotton on the tip of an old friend and loses the money. Conscience-stricken, the colonel returns to his plantation determined to take his life, but Adams, successful in his deal, arrives just in time to prevent the tragedy.
"Curtain at Eight" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Tar Heel Warrior" offers its own unique cult appeal.
