Dan La Roche lives in a mountain cabin, his only friend, a trapper, Tom Tripp. When Dan receives word from his city cousin, Henry Crozier, that they are heirs to their uncle's estate, Dan visits Crozier, whereupon both are startled by their resemblance to each other. After Crozier convinces Dan to sign over mining property in exchange for timber lands, Dan returns. He meets Ruth Madison, visiting from the city, and falls in love. Meanwhile, Crozier, who has mismanaged the mining property, sells Dan his portion of the timber lands, which he has secretly mortgaged. Ruth, returning to the city, meets Crozier and, thinking he is Dan, marries him. After he treats her cruelly, Crozier leaves to avoid being caught for a stock swindle. Ruth then returns to the mountains hoping to find him changed by the environment. After she spends a night with Dan, he is arrested for Crozier's crime. When Dan escapes from jail, Crozier shoots him in the back. After Tripp kills Crozier, Dan and Ruth marry.

Apartment 29 Synopsis

Stanley Ormsby, a dramatic critic, runs foul of an author and dramatic company who have just put on a new play which he announces as "rotten." On his way home from the play, after waiving aside the author's pleas for a merciful criticism, his adventures begin. He interferes between a couple quarreling on the street and is rebuffed. Later he gets an assignment from his editor to go to a certain apartment house to interview a singer. Entering the place he is diverted from his mission by a woman falling apparently dead at his feet, before the door of Apartment 29. Carrying her inside he finds her to be the woman of the quarrel, and there finds also her husband shot. There alone, he realizes suddenly that circumstances are against him and wishes to flee. The playwright, who lives in the same building, offers refuge, but in return asks a large sum of money, which Ormsby is only too glad to give. A girl in the playwright's apartment hides him while the police search the place. He has a dozen hairbreadth escapes and is finally shocked as the playwright demands a bribe to keep him hidden. Finally Ormsby escapes from the house with the girl, only to run into a nest of thugs, who attack him. He is then rescued by the very police, who then charge him with murder, after which...well, it winds up all right, but it was a hair-raising experience, mates.
