Man and Woman Synopsis
Bradley, an engineer, becomes a Tahiti beachcomber after the collapse of a bridge he built. Murdock, a former employer of Bradley, arrives on the island with his lovely daughter Diana, who wagers with a guest of the governor-general that she could dress the lowest outcast in good clothing and pass him off as a gentleman. She chooses Bradley, who finds out about the hoax and, determined to teach her a lesson, takes her to Leper Island where she is treated like an outcast. Murdock recognizes Bradley and offers him a chance to redeem himself by overseeing the repairs made on a lighthouse. Diana, having now understood Bradley, remains on Tahiti with him.
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.
"Man and Woman" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
