Seeing's Believing Synopsis
Diana Webster and her aunt's fiancé, Jimmy Harrison, are caught in a storm and forced to spend the night in a country hotel; there they are seen by Bruce Terring, a friend of Diana's brother, Jack, and Bruce forms his own conclusions. Arriving home, Diana finds Bruce to be her brother's house guest, and as she is unable to convince Bruce of the innocence of her predicament, she plans to prove to him that seeing is not always believing, but the tables are turned on Diana when she engages two crooks. Meanwhile, Bruce learns of her innocence and finds her being blackmailed; in the mix-up that follows, the sheriff decides to arrest everyone. But Jimmy arrives, identifies the crooks, and vouches for his friends; and Bruce persuades Diana that he has complete faith in her.
Filling His Own Shoes Synopsis
Finding himself broke and out of a job in Paris, American William Ruggles joins the Turkish army and is sent to fight in its war in the Balkans. During a particularly hard-fought battle, he rescues a wounded Turkish soldier. Before he dies the Turk, out of gratitude, leaves William his fortune--but with the proviso that he take care of the Turk's three beautiful young wards. After he leaves the army, William and the three young girls--Roxana, Rosa and Bulbul--move to Paris, where William meets up with young Ruth Downing, the daughter of his former employer. They fall in love, but Roxana--who is also in love with William--is determined that nothing will stand in the way of her getting him and she will do whatever it takes to achieve that end.
"Seeing's Believing" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Filling His Own Shoes" offers its own unique cult appeal.
