Lone Hand Wilson Synopsis
Andy Walker, a gold prospector in Hell's Gap, Arizona, time and again gambles away the money he needs to bring his daughter Madge to live with him. Lone Hand Wilson, a solitary fellow who shuns the company of women, helps Andy win the thousand dollars he needs, but soon afterwards Andy is murdered. The orphaned Madge finally arrives in Hell's Gap and falls in love with Wilson, who helps to defend her interests. Wilson is charged with Andy's murder, however, and only clears himself after considerable effort. He and Madge then are reconciled.
The Key to Power Synopsis
Bruce Wendell, the son of West Virginia coal mine owner James Wendell, graduates from West Point and prepares to lead a fighting unit to the front during World War I. As his father lies dying, however, he convinces Bruce to remain at home and guard the mine. Bruce's fiancée Ann Blair assumes that he is a coward and breaks off their engagement, but her brother Bobbie remains Bruce's loyal friend. Meyer, a German agent, persuades railroad president Parrish to refuse to transport Wendell's coal, but when Bruce adamantly refuses to close the mine, the spy's men decide to blow it up. While Ann is being abducted by Meyer, Bobbie is buried in an explosion at the mine. Bruce rescues Bobbie and then sends a plea to Lieutenant Parrish to rescue Ann. Meyer and his gang are captured and Ann renews her vow of love to Bruce.
"Lone Hand Wilson" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Key to Power" offers its own unique cult appeal.
