Das gestohlene Gesicht Synopsis
Bill's friend Lore is an art student in Berlin. Since her professor doesn't think much of women painters, she decides to swipe a Rafael painting from the gallerie and replaces it with a copy she painted. To make matters worse, some moron has stolen the counterfeit from the museum. Criminal Investigator Keller suspects Bill and Lore are behind the whole thing. But Bill, a gifted quick-change artist, keeps escaping arrest by constantly altering his appearance like a chameleon on steroids.
The Key to Power Synopsis
Bruce Wendell, the son of West Virginia coal mine owner James Wendell, graduates from West Point and prepares to lead a fighting unit to the front during World War I. As his father lies dying, however, he convinces Bruce to remain at home and guard the mine. Bruce's fiancée Ann Blair assumes that he is a coward and breaks off their engagement, but her brother Bobbie remains Bruce's loyal friend. Meyer, a German agent, persuades railroad president Parrish to refuse to transport Wendell's coal, but when Bruce adamantly refuses to close the mine, the spy's men decide to blow it up. While Ann is being abducted by Meyer, Bobbie is buried in an explosion at the mine. Bruce rescues Bobbie and then sends a plea to Lieutenant Parrish to rescue Ann. Meyer and his gang are captured and Ann renews her vow of love to Bruce.
"Das gestohlene Gesicht" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Key to Power" offers its own unique cult appeal.
