The Drivin' Fool Synopsis
Speed-mad Hal Locke saves his father's business and the family fortune by driving his car from San Francisco to New York City in the face of insurmountable odds to deliver a check within the required time limit. He thereby thwarts Richard Brownlee, a scheming Wall Street broker, who, through a technicality, plans to take over the business.
Fallen Angel Synopsis
Jill Cummings and her sisters Marguerite and Jane are left penniless when their father dies. To provide for the family, Jill accepts a sales position in a department store, where she attracts the attention of her unhappily-married boss, George Hemingway. Desperate to escape her difficult circumstances, Jill accepts Hemingway's proposal that she live as his mistress and subsequently is kept in high style in a large, beautiful house. Some years later, Hemingway dies, and with the fortune he leaves her, Jill tours Europe. There she becomes engaged to Harry Adams, but when George Hemingway, Jr. appears to act as best man in the wedding, Jill is forced to confess her past to Harry. The two separate for a year to think things over, and when Harry returns, he suggests to Jill that they live together "in a happy way." Jill leaves him and continues her life alone.
"The Drivin' Fool" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Fallen Angel" offers its own unique cult appeal.
