The Cherokee Kid Synopsis
Bill Duncan returns to his home town and conceals his identity because of a longstanding feud with the Flynne family. However, he is soon found out and arrested for the murder of rancher Red Flynne. The dead man's estate has been bequeathed jointly to Rolfe McPherson, his foreman, and Helen, his daughter, who believes that her father wished her to marry Rolfe, unaware that he plotted the murder. After Bill escapes, Rolfe's housekeeper discloses her employer's guilt. Rolfe kidnaps Helen and rides for the Mexican border, but Bill comes to the rescue, brings the villain to justice, and wins Helen.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"The Cherokee Kid" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
