The Confidence Man Synopsis
Dan Corvan and Larry Maddox, salesmen for promoters of phony oil stock, endear themselves to the people of Fairfield, Florida, in an attempt to fleece skinflint Godfrey Queritt. When they are at the point of success, an old lady asks Corvan to restore some money her son has stolen, and touched by the trust of local girl Margaret Leland, Corvan decides to go straight.
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 Confidence Man" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
