Desert Driven Synopsis
Bob Gaunt is wrongfully convicted of murder and escapes from prison through the desert. He finds employment on a ranch owned by Yorke, who believes the young man is innocence and conceals his identity. Bob soon becomes ranch foreman, and falls in love with Yorke's daughter, Mary. Former prison physician and drug trafficker Dr. Otis Craydon, the son of a neighboring rancher, is also in love with Mary, and tries to eliminate his rival by effecting Bob's recapture. Bob makes a second escape but is exonerated when the real murderer confesses.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"Desert Driven" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
