Human Hearts Synopsis
City confidence woman Barbara Kaye visits the Logan farm in the Ozarks for the purpose of marrying Tom Logan for the fortune in coal beneath the Logan property. Paul, Tom's father, is suspicious of Barbara and disinherits Tom after his marriage. Angry with Logan and restless from the monotony of farm life, Barbara succumbs to the temptation of her former lover, Benton, and she returns to the city with the ex-convict and her daughter when Benton kills Paul Logan and Tom is imprisoned for the murder. Eventually, Barbara repents, confesses the truth, and is reconciled with Tom, who rescues his wife from the brutal Benton and takes his family back to the farm.
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.
"Human Hearts" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
