The Bride of Fear Synopsis
Distraught young Ann Carter is saved from committing suicide by Hayden Masters, but he turns out to be a vicious criminal who wants to make her his partner-in-crime. Fearful of what might happen to her if she doesn't marry him as he asked, she accepts, but on their wedding night he is arrested for burglary and thrown into prison. Broke and alone, Ann gets a job as a secretary to a wealthy executive, whose son Donald falls for her. When she hears that Masters has been killed in a failed prison escape attempt, she accepts Donald's proposal--then Masters shows up, very much alive.
Courage Synopsis
In Scotland, Stephan Blackmoore, a young husband and father struggling with the design of a new invention, visits his former employer, Angus Ferguson, to collect money owed him. Before Stephan's arrival, Angus is killed by his son, Bruce, in an attempted robbery. Stephan is imprisoned for the murder, but his wife, Jean, continues the work of perfecting his invention and remains faithful to him, despite being courted by a man of wealth and position. When she has all but given up, the real killer confesses, resulting in Stephan's release and his reunion with Jean.
"The Bride of Fear" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Courage" offers its own unique cult appeal.
