No Man's Law Synopsis
Gambler Monte Mallory cheats John Carson out of his ranch near the Mexican border and turns it into a notorious gambling resort, known as the White Owl. Carson is devastated by his loss and commits suicide. Later, Mallory turns his attention to Marion Moore, offering to forgive the $10,000 gambling debt owed by her brother, Donald, if she will be nice to him. However, Carson's son, Dave, is in love with Marion and comes to her aid. That night, Dave recovers Donald's debt marker and joins forces with the famed bandit, Quantrell, who also has a vendetta against Mallory. The gambler dispatches his henchman, Nick Alby, to kidnap Marion, but Dave and Quantrell follow them to the White Owl. Dave defeats Mallory in a brutal fight, then rescues Marion from a fire.
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.
"No Man's Law" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Key to Power" offers its own unique cult appeal.
