Dangerous Waters Synopsis

Charley Le Grant comes upon Big Alec fishing at night with illegal nets. They fight, but Big Alec's boat is the faster one and he gets away. Mary Rebecca sees the chase and later chides Charley for his poor sailing tactics. Charley bravely confronts Big Alec in a sailor's dive. Big Alec is defiant; he acknowledges he is without the law, but defies Charley, and says he will continue to fish. Yellow Handkerchief decides to take a hand. Under cover of darkness he places a half-submerged piece of piling near buoy number four, planning that either Charley's or Big Alec's boat will run amuck. Charley engages a new and faster boat. The next day he chases Big Alec and has almost caught him when his boat jams the submerged pile. The boat goes over, and Charley, stunned, is thrown into the bay. Mary commands a boat and goes to his rescue, saves him; Charley is grateful, Mary indifferent. Charley goes into the dive again after Big Alec.

The Great Shadow Synopsis

Jim McDonald, the foreman of a shipbuilding plant and head of the labor union, strives to combat the anarchistic propaganda being put forth by Klimoff, the leader of a Bolshevik gang whose goal is to disrupt the country with strikes and anarchy. Despite McDonald's efforts, a strike is called, resulting in chaos. McDonald's child is knocked down by runaway horses abandoned by their striking driver, and dies. Mob scenes take place in America, as well as in Russia. Eventually, the unrest is quelled with an armistice called between Capital and Labor for a year, during which time wages are to be increased to reflect the cost of living, and leaders are to work out a common plan for their mutual advantage. The strikers now realize that they have been pawns of the Bolsheviks and call off the strike, agreeing to the plan.
