Sworn Enemy Synopsis
Hank Sherman is a law student who stumbles into a job as a chauffeur for a wealthy businessman and, in the process, falls in love with his boss' beautiful assistant Margaret. His job becomes significantly harder, however, after his boss and his brother Steve, manager of a boxer named Steamer Krupp, are murdered, and he volunteers in the effort to catch the mobsters who did it. In order to get closer to head man Joe Emerald, Hank takes over Steamer's career. Steamer's subsequent success naturally catches the interest of Emerald, who muscles his way in. Hank and Emerald eventually reach a deal regarding Steamer, and Hank gains entry into Emerald's world. Once inside, Sherman works with the police to avenge the deaths of those near and dear to him.
The Key to Power Synopsis
Bruce Wendell, the son of West Virginia coal mine owner James Wendell, graduates from West Point and prepares to lead a fighting unit to the front during World War I. As his father lies dying, however, he convinces Bruce to remain at home and guard the mine. Bruce's fiancée Ann Blair assumes that he is a coward and breaks off their engagement, but her brother Bobbie remains Bruce's loyal friend. Meyer, a German agent, persuades railroad president Parrish to refuse to transport Wendell's coal, but when Bruce adamantly refuses to close the mine, the spy's men decide to blow it up. While Ann is being abducted by Meyer, Bobbie is buried in an explosion at the mine. Bruce rescues Bobbie and then sends a plea to Lieutenant Parrish to rescue Ann. Meyer and his gang are captured and Ann renews her vow of love to Bruce.
"Sworn Enemy" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Key to Power" offers its own unique cult appeal.
