Sir Lumberjack Synopsis
Bill Barlow, Jr., a wealthy young spendthrift out of favor with his father, sets out to prove himself at his father's lumber camp but is waylaid by tramps who steal his clothes. When he arrives, no one believes his identity, and his father reports that his son has never worked. Rescuing Bess Calhoun from the path of a log, he learns of a plot to gain control of the Calhoun timber through a mortgage and incurs the enmity of Mack, the camp bully. Mack forces Calhoun to an agreement, but Bill borrows the mortgage money and overtakes Mack on a logging engine, pays off the mortgage, sells the property to his father, and wins the hand of Bess.
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.
"Sir Lumberjack" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
