Hélène Synopsis
Helene Wilfur is a brilliant student at a medical school devoted to research, and the outstanding student of Professor Amboise. Pierre Rguier, another student, is in love with Helene but, after learning he has an incurable disease, commits suicide. Helene returns to her work and studies, and devotes herself to Amboise, who has been disconsolate over his faithless wife.
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.
"Hélène" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
