Glenister of the Mounted Synopsis
Sergeant Glenister of the Mounted Police, caught in the snows of the Northwest, is tended in a semiconscious state by Jack and Betty Danrock, who are fleeing from the police; at Rafferty's trading post Glenister again encounters the pair, but Betty disclaims having met him and poses as Jack's wife. Later, Dick is assigned to track down the murderers of Thorald's partner and captures the couple. Returning, they are caught in a forest fire, and Glenister is injured rescuing Jack; when he revives, the prisoners tell him their story and convince him of their innocence. Glenister discovers that Jack was tricked by an ingeniously placed mirror and that Thorald, the partner, is the murderer. Glenister forces him to confess.
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.
"Glenister of the Mounted" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
