Step on It! Synopsis
Cowpuncher Vic Collins, who is suffering tremendous losses at the hand of cattle rustlers, falls in love with Lorraine Leighton from Kansas City. The rustlers hide their tracks, but Lorraine is suspected of being their leader. Vic, however, will not believe the rumor even though she hits him on the head with a gun butt while he is fighting a rustler. Ultimately, Lorraine discloses that she is trying to capture the gang for sending her brother to jail, and with the help of Lafe Brownell they capture the horse thieves.
The Silent Battle Synopsis
Inheriting his father's alcoholism, Lawyer Tom Gallatin goes into the woods to rehabilitate himself. Once there, he loses his way and then meets Jane Loring, who is also lost. They are attracted to each other, but when Jane offers him a drink from a flask, Tom takes more than just a few sips, and then tries to rape her. A search party rescues Jane, after which, sobered by the seriousness of his attempted crime, Tom cures himself of his drinking problem. Later, in the city, Jane and Tom meet again and she forgives him. However, Coleman Van Duyn, who loves Jane, and Nina Jaffray, who wants to marry Tom, decide to make sure that no romance develops. They convince Jane that Tom is already engaged to Nina, but then, guilt-ridden, the alleged fiancee confesses everything to Jane, who quickly goes to Tom and tells him that she loves him.
"Step on It!" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Silent Battle" offers its own unique cult appeal.
