Sky High Corral Synopsis
When the Government incorporates Bill Hayden's (Tom Lingham) ranch into a Federal game preserve, Jack McCabe (Art Acord), a forest ranger, is sent to serve an eviction notice on Hayden and his daughter, Shasta (Marguerite Clayton). Hayden resists the order, and Jack falls in love with Shasta. Whitey Durk (Duke R. Lee) steals Hayden's cattle and pins the blame on Jack. The burly ranger later rescues Hayden and Shasta from Duke's men and brings the bandits into court. The law establishing the game preserve is repealed, and Shasta confesses her love for Jack.
The Fly God Synopsis
Bob Allers, an unfortunate consumptive, and his wife are traveling to Arizona for medicinal purposes. On the way, a highwayman robs them of horse and money. Destitute, they are befriended by William "Red" Saunders, whose sympathy and innate love for his fellow man lands Allers a job in the local saloon. Soon after, when the same highwayman attempts to rob the saloon, Allers kills him with a hammer thrown in self-defense, unaware that the outlaw is the brother of the sheriff. Convicted for murder by the vengeful sheriff, Allers is defended by "Red." The corrupt jury makes its final decision based on whether a crawling fly reaches the top of a window pane. Allers is acquitted, then reunited with his happy wife and newborn child, and they all leave together.
"Sky High Corral" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Fly God" offers its own unique cult appeal.
