Square Crooks Synopsis
Two former crooks, Eddie Ellison and Larry Scott, who have decided that they want to go straight, take a variety of jobs but always have to leave when their nemesis, Detective Harry Welch finds them. Two days after they are forced to quit their most recent jobs, as chauffeurs to the wealthy Carson family, a pearl necklace is discovered to be missing, Welch assumes that the two are responsible for the crime. Eddie, who is married to Kay, a fiery-tempered hotel telephone operator, tries to keep the fact that he has lost another job from her. Eventually, Eddie and Larry are exonerated after an old cohort of theirs is revealed to be the culprit.
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.
"Square Crooks" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
