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.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"Sir Lumberjack" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
