Sons of the Saddle Synopsis
Jim Brandon, foreman of the Wind River Ranch owned by Martin Stavnow is in love with "Ronnie", the owner's daughter. Jim is unaware that Harvey, a young cowhand that Jim protects like a brother,also loves the girl, and the shy Jim asks Harvey to speak for him. The heart-broken Harvey joins the rustling gang led by "Red' Slade, who are plotting a raid on the Wind River's herd. Harvey is killed while Jim is trying to rescue him from the gang. The rustling attempt is stopped and Slade takes refuge in a wagon in which "Ronnie" is hiding. Jim and his horse Tarzan rescue her just before the wagon plunges over a cliff with Slade riding to his doom. Tarzan (the horse) is even smarter than usual in this one; he knows when and how to duck bullets.
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.
"Sons of the Saddle" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
