Cyclone Bliss Synopsis
Quiet and fair-minded Jack Bliss traces his missing father to Hell's Hole, where he meets Helen Turner and Jack Hall, the leader of an outlaw gang rendezvousing at Hell's Hole. Hall kills Helen's father but fails in his attempts to get rid of Bliss and Helen, and Bliss, single-handed, takes on the gang while the neighboring ranchers, settlers, and herders unite to clean out the outlaws. They arrive in time to save Bliss and Helen and to hear Hall's confession to the murder of Bliss's father.
Berlin Via America Synopsis
Phil Kelly, a veteran of the Spanish-American War, serves as an American spy during World War I unknown to his mother, fiancée Rose Lockely and friends, who sadly question his loyalty when he fails to enlist. German agents Karl Shamme and John Harris invite Phil to a secret meeting, where he learns of German plans to sink several Allied transports. Phil saves the transports and then is sent to Germany posing as a German aviator. After flying over American lines to warn the Allies of an impending large-scale German offensive, Phil is discovered by Shamme and sentenced to death. Shortly before he is to be shot, Americans bombard the area where he is imprisoned. Although injured in the battle, he is rescued and nursed back to health by Rose.
"Cyclone Bliss" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Berlin Via America" offers its own unique cult appeal.
