Real Adventure Synopsis

Following her marriage to wealthy lawyer Rodney Aldrich, Rose Stanton realizes that he is uninterested in her intellect. She takes up law studies to help him in his work, and when he scoffs at the idea, she leaves him, determined to prove herself an equally-intelligent marriage partner. In New York, Rose becomes a chorus girl, then seizes the opportunity to design costumes for Broadway shows. Soon she opens a salon and is very successful, but realizes that whatever a man's interest in a woman's work, his deepest concern will be with her as a woman. As she is about to sign a Broadway contract, Rodney confesses his admiration and respect for her, and she agrees to return to the career of wife and mother.

The Turn in the Road Synopsis

Paul Perry, the son of Perryville's wealthiest citizen, marries Reverend Matthew Barker's younger daughter Evelyn, while her sister June, who disputes her father's sermons preaching that it is God's will that sends affliction, hides her own love for Paul. When Evelyn dies in childbirth, Paul nearly goes insane. His questions to Reverend Barker about God's role in Evelyn's death shake Barker's faith. Barker's new sermons, focusing on God's love, arouse his wealthy congregation to dismiss him. Meanwhile, Paul searches for God's truth but becomes a derelict in Chicago. June takes Paul's child Bob to Chicago, but returns after being fired for refusing her employer's advances. Paul's father Hamilton, who denies wage increases at his iron works, is about to be shot by his employees, when Bob, now six, visits with his six puppies. His lovable nature subdues the workers, and Hamilton, also softened, complies with their requests. After Paul returns and learns that Bob, whose philosophy of love has touched him, is his own son, his happiness returns.
