Sunset Jones Synopsis
Fired from the railroad, David Rand gets together a gang of bandits and robs trains going through Shoshone Basin. The railroad hires Cowboy Sunset Jones to capture the gang, but discovers something that could throw a wrench into his plans: his former fiance Marion is now married to bandit leader Rand.
The Hellion Synopsis
Joseph and Helen Harper, who have spent their niece Blanche's inheritance, worry that Blanche's fiancé, wealthy George Graham, will no longer want her when he finds out that she has gone insane from grief after hearing a report of his death in the war. When George returns and learns of the situation, he hires detectives to investigate. The Harpers convince cabaret dancer Mazie Del Mar, who resembles Blanche, to impersonate her and marry George. Mazie, wanting to escape from cabaret owner Signor Enrico, called "The Hellion," who uses hypnosis to control her, agrees, but she falls in love with George and feels deceitful. After Enrico kidnaps Blanche, thinking she is Mazie, and unsuccessfully tries to hypnotize her, they fight and Blanche is killed. George tells Mazie, about to confess, that his detectives told him who she was, but that he loves her anyway. He forgives the Harpers, since their scheme resulted in love for him and Mazie.
"Sunset Jones" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Hellion" offers its own unique cult appeal.
