Daughter Angele Synopsis
Mary Brenton, daughter of wealthy Anthony Brenton, marries a man her father doesn't approve of, and they become estranged. When she tries to return home, her father refuses to let her in. Her daughter Angele disguises herself as a Belgian war refugee and her grandfather, not knowing who she really is, takes her into his house--and eventually into his heart. However, trouble arises in the form of the Brentons' greedy housemaid, a clandestine German spy ring, and an American agent tracking them.
Restless Souls Synopsis
Judith Wingate has married for wealth, but desires love, while her friend Marion Gregory has married for love, but longs for wealth. Chester Wingate refuses to grant Judith a divorce, even though he is having an affair and Judith has taken wealthy Oliver Sloan for a lover. Marion grows impatient with her husband, inventor Hugh Gregory, who promises her wealth at the completion of his submarine invention for the United States government. Judith invites Marion for a weekend sojourn, with the intention of entrapping Chester with Marion. When Marion rejects Chester's advances, Oliver attempts to win her favor. Judith enters Marion's room hoping to expose her husband, but finds instead her lover in a compromising position. Hugh believes that Marion has been unfaithful, and the success of his invention is little consolation until minister Robert Calvert proves Marion's innocence. Marion returns to the man she married for love with a new appreciation of him, and with a new view of the idle rich.
"Daughter Angele" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Restless Souls" offers its own unique cult appeal.
