Jimmie's Millions Synopsis
Jimmie Wicherley, who is always late for everything, finds out that he will inherit his uncle's millions on the condition that, for a period of 3 months, he report to his uncle's lawyer promptly on time on a certain day each month. If Jimmie does not meet this condition, Saunders, another of his uncle's nephews, will inherit the fortune. Jimmie later has a fight with a truck driver named Johnson and knocks him to the ground, where he remains, out cold. Saunders then bribes Johnson to disappear, and Jimmie is arrested for his "murder." A friend springs Jimmie from jail, and Jimmie captures Johnson and brings him before a judge. The case against Jimmie is dismissed, but he believes the fortune to be lost to him for not reporting to the lawyer while in jail. The lawyer, however, informs Jimmie that, being clearly the victim of circumstance, he will still inherit the fortune. Jimmie also wins the hand of the lawyer's ward, Susan.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"Jimmie's Millions" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
