Driftin' Thru Synopsis

Drifting through the Southwest with "Kentuck," his donkey companion, Daniel Brown stops in a town to get bullets to put down the wounded animal. Stopping in a gambling parlor, he is unjustly accused of murdering the proprietor, "Bull" Dunn. Dan escapes from the sheriff, steals a horse, jumps from the steed onto a train, and is hidden by a girl in her Pullman compartment. He later takes refuge with a prospector and learns that the girl who so generously helped him on the train owns a nearby ranch, which, unknown to her, holds rich gold deposits. Joe Walters, the ranch foreman, is plotting with Stella Dunn, the widow of the murdered gambler, to buy the girl's ranch for a pittance. With the help of the old prospector, Dan prevents the sale; and, when he is about to be arrested by the sheriff, the widow Dunn confesses to having murdered her husband.

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.
