Suspicious Wives Synopsis
James Brunton's wife, Molly, believing she has found her husband to be unfaithful, leaves him without asking an explanation. The 'other woman,' however, is Brunton's sister-in-law, whom he is supporting. In his search for his wife Brunton is hurt and temporarily blinded in an automobile accident. He is carried to the very house in which his wife has secreted herself. She nurses him back to health without his recognizing her until, when his sight is restored, the sister-in-law appears on the scene, an explanation is made, and Brunton and his wife are reconciled.
Greater Than Love Synopsis
Faced with deciding between two suitors, James Brunton and Bob Standing, Grace chooses James. Aristocratic Mr. Brunton gives his son James a sumptuous wedding at home, which is interrupted when the father is suddenly shot through a window. Before he dies, Mr. Brunton speaks with James, making him promise not to apprehend the murderer. Later, the marriage is troubled when Grace is led to believe that James is involved with another woman, Helen, and is giving her money. Crushed, Grace leaves home and has a miscarriage after settling in another town. Meanwhile, James believes that she has run off with Bob. One day, James has a car accident and is taken to Grace's house nearby, where she cares for him. The mystery is solved with the arrivals of Helen and Bob, when it is revealed that Helen is actually James's sister, and that Mr. Brunton had abandoned Helen's mother Alice years before. Mr. Brunton knew that it was Alice who had shot him, and he wanted James to try to make up for his neglect of the mother and daughter. Bob then becomes interested in Helen, and James and Grace are reconciled.
"Suspicious Wives" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Greater Than Love" offers its own unique cult appeal.
