East of Java Synopsis
Survivors of a shipwreck find refuge on a tropical island--but so do the ship's cargo of lions and tigers.
The Fighting Hope Synopsis
Anna Granger's husband commits a fraud at the bank where he works and is condemned to pay the penalty of a jail sentence. In the hope of proving his innocence she goes to work, under an assumed name, for the President of the closed bank. This man is now indicted himself, though unjustly, and employs detectives who finally unearth a letter positively establishing the guilt of Granger. In spite of everything, Anna remains faithful until she learns that the theft her husband committed was to get money for another woman. Then comes a sudden climax which puts an end to a situation which she could not possibly endure.
"East of Java" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Fighting Hope" offers its own unique cult appeal.
