The Captain of Bandits Synopsis
Two heroes (played by actors Gi-tak Jeong and Hong-sik Kang) are in love with the daughter of the king of bandits. In the end, the two fight in a duel, where one of them dies, and the other wins the love of the heroine.
Polly of the Storm Country Synopsis
The Hopkinses are a family of squatters struggling against the wealthy landowners or "hilltoppers." When Jerry Hopkins is unjustly imprisoned, his young wife and baby die as a result of the shock, but his sister Polly maintains the faith that has been instilled in her by her grandmother. Later, Polly meets hilltopper Robert Robertson and the two fall in love. Their courtship is disrupted when Robert's sister Evelyn is blackmailed by Oscar Bennett, the man to whom she is secretly wed. In her efforts to help Evelyn, Polly falls under unjust suspicion. Meanwhile, MacKenzie, one of the vindictive landowners, arrests Polly's father and sends her brother to an orphanage. Devastated by these events, Polly's grandmother dies of grief and Polly swears revenge. She has Evelyn kidnapped and brought to her cabin, but the memory of her grandmother prevents Polly from harming her tormentor. Polly's nobility inspires Evelyn, who exonerates Polly, thus clearing the path for her marriage to Robert.
"The Captain of Bandits" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Polly of the Storm Country" offers its own unique cult appeal.
