Hearts and Fists Synopsis
When Larry Pond (John Bowers) inherits an almost bankrupt lumber company from his father, he attempts to turn it into a successful operation. Meanwhile, Preston Tolley (Alan Hale), a competitor lumberman, hires a hoodlum to prevent Larry from getting his logs to the mill, but Larry beats the thug in a fight and, commandeering a train and a preacher, marries Alexia Newton (Marguerite De La Motte), Tolley's former fiancée, en route to the mill with his logs.
A Child of the Paris Streets Synopsis
When the son of a leader of a Paris underworld family known as The Apaches is arrested and tried in court, the boy's mother asks the judge for mercy, but he refuses. In retaliation, the family kidnaps the judge's young daughter and raises her to be one of their own, schooling her in the ways of crime. One day she steals a valuable pin from a young American artist; he catches her, but an attraction develops between them--and her "Apache" family is not happy about it.
"A Child of the Paris Streets" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
