Revenge Synopsis
Rascha, the wild daughter of Costa, the Gypsy bear tamer, swears revenge on Jorga, her father's enemy, when he cuts off her braids (a sign of disgrace among the Gypsies). Jorga later repents of his cruel act and cuts off the braids of all the other Gypsy women, returning Rascha's braids to her while she is sleeping. Rascha awakens and beats Jorga with a whip, exciting him to stifle her cries with his hot, passionate lips. Jorga later kidnaps Rascha and takes her to a mountain cave, where he sets out to tame her. Rascha comes to love Jorga and later helps him to elude the vengeance of her irate father.
Her Great Price Synopsis
Before the guests arrive for a party in her apartment, Agnes Lambert, a writer of unsalable fiction, starts revising one of her stories because she realizes that it lacks drama and emotion. Later, she begins a romance with Tom Leighton, but although Tom loves her, he is already engaged to Ruth Beresford, who was recently blinded in an explosion. Aware of the impossibility of their affair, Agnes decides to commit suicide, but when Ruth, whose vision has been restored by an operation, discovers that Tom no longer loves her, she frees him to marry his new sweetheart. Tom goes to Agnes, but arrives too late, and finds her dead. Then, guests knock at Agnes' door, ready for a party, and, having just finished revising a story in which she stars as a woman who commits suicide because she wrongly believes that a love affair has failed, Agnes rises from her typewriter to greet them.
"Revenge" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Her Great Price" offers its own unique cult appeal.
