Partners Three Synopsis
Harmony Larkin is a great-hearted, altogether square western hero, the direct opposite of his cousin "Surley" Larkin. The two young men are partners in the "Circle A Ranch," but Surley is inclined to get more than his half and when he thinks the ground is going to be worth a lot of money, endeavors to force Harmony into selling his share. Nearby, however, is a neighbor with a lovely daughter who appeals to Harmony's fancy, and whose admiration is reciprocated. Her father, becoming discouraged, talks to Harmony about selling out, and without knowing the plan Surley has to become owner of the territory and marry the girl, Harmony suggests that the two men talk business. It is then disclosed that plans for a new railroad are under way, which would increase the worth of the property many fold. Harmony arrives just in time to save his sweetheart's father from being tricked out of his returns, and when he interferes, there follows a good fight, Harmony out-manning Surley and his two confederates. Then the partnership for life is formed embracing Harmony, the girl and her father, who remain to enjoy the prosperity and peace to reign again at Circle A Ranch under the new management.
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.
"Partners Three" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
