Man's Size Synopsis
While visiting Canada on business, Tom Morse falls in love with Jessie McRae, a headstrong girl who was adopted as an infant by Scotsman Angus McRae after her parents were supposedly killed by drunken Native Americans. Angus has a longstanding grudge against Tom's Uncle Carle and forbids the younger Morse to see Jessie. The Scotsman then "sells" her to bootlegger Bully West, while Tom is commissioned by the government to halt the illegal liquor trade. After Tom settles the feud between Angus and Carl, he rescues Jessie from Bully and returns her to her repentant father, who reveals that she is his actual daughter.
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.
"Man's Size" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
