Shipwrecked Synopsis
Larry O'Neil, a ship's cook, finds and befriends stowaway Lois Austin, who is a fugitive from a murder charge. The ship's captain, Klodel, also finds her and forces her to do his will as he has received a cablegram and knows she is hunted. A storm breaks and Larry rescues Lois from the captain and he, in turn, is rescued by Lois as the ship seems to be sinking. The two make an island beach and are befriended by the island traders, but the ship has remained afloat - and Captain Krodel comes ashore looking for them.
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.
"Shipwrecked" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
