The Bloodhound Synopsis
"Moose" Rambo is killed by an unknown assailant during a barroom brawl, and Belleau is wrongfully accused of the crime. Sergeant McKenna of the Northwest Mounted Police is detailed to go after him, and Constable Fitzgerald, who saw Belleau on the night of the murder, is struck by the resemblance between Belleau and McKenna. Believing them to be the same man, Fitzgerald confides his suspicions to the chief and is detailed to pursue McKenna. McKenna tracks Belleau and learns that he is his own twin brother. Fitzgerald tracks McKenna, and McKenna, in order to protect his brother's wife and child, allows himself to be arrested as Belleau. Belleau's wife, who quickly sees through the deception, eventually tells the police that they are holding the wrong man. McKenna is freed and again tracks down his brother, bringing him back to stand trial. The real murderer, a half-breed, has confessed, however, and Belleau is freed. McKenna marries Marie Rambo.
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.
"The Bloodhound" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Key to Power" offers its own unique cult appeal.
