Square Shooter Synopsis
Chick Crandall, half owner of the Flying A Ranch, returns home after a five-year absence and, because he is suspicious of his foreman Sam Curtis' activities, decides to proceed incognito. Disguised as Harold Montague, his partner's son, Chick works among the ranch hands and discovers that Curtis is rustling cattle and is responsible for driving Barbara Hampton and her aunt from their home. After a series of skirmishes between Chick and Curtis, Curtis is expelled from the ranch, Chick reveals his true identity, and Montague is so pleased with his partner that he relinquishes his share of the ranch to him. Chick, now full owner of the Flying A, offers his home in a marriage partnership with Barbara.
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.
"Square Shooter" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
