Perils of the Coast Guard Synopsis
When Coast Guard Captain Tom Norris, at Point Lobos, Maine, save Natalie Aldridge from drowning, a romance blossoms much to the dislike of Carlton Aldrich, Natalie's uncle, who wishes her to marry Lonsdayle. In spite of her uncle, Natalie and Tom are married and live in a small cottage near the Coast Guard station, and Aldridge ignores them. Tom is assigned to capture the oyster pirates and does so, but the pirate leader escapes and plans to keep Tom from testifying against his men by kidnapping Natalie. (This film, and a few other Paul Gerson films, were never copyrighted.)
The Squaw Man Synopsis
A chivalrous British officer takes the blame for his cousin's embezzlement and journeys to the American West to start a new life on a cattle ranch.
"Perils of the Coast Guard" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Squaw Man" offers its own unique cult appeal.
