Putting It Over Synopsis
State political power James Merritt gives his wayward son, Bob, a 13th chance to make good by defeating Arnold Norton in the coming Carterville mayoral election. Bob tries his mightiest until he meets Norton's daughter, Barbara, and learns of the underhanded efforts being made against Norton by Mark Durkham, the elder Merritt's political henchman. Switching to the other side, Bob successfully works for Norton's victory and Barbara's favor--thereby getting involved in a prizefight and other exciting events.
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.
"Putting It Over" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
