The Earl of Pawtucket Synopsis
Cocaine Traffic; or, the Drug Terror Synopsis
Andrews, a former shipping clerk, has amassed a fortune in cocaine and therefore discourages his daughter May's romance with Joe, a policeman. Andrews prefers socialite Roger Hastings, whom May marries but soon discovers is a drug addict. While May is recovering from a nervous breakdown precipitated by the knowledge of Roger's addiction, he slips cocaine into her medication. Soon she also is addicted, a fact which Roger delightedly reports to Andrews. Andrews then commits May to a sanitarium and Roger becomes a procurer for a gang of white slavers. When the gang abducts his sister Julia and takes her to Roger's brothel, he turns against them. Julia is released, and after many complications, Roger returns to Andrews' house and, during a struggle, sets the house on fire, killing them both. Finally, Joe rescues a newly cured May and the two are reunited.
"The Earl of Pawtucket" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Cocaine Traffic; or, the Drug Terror" offers its own unique cult appeal.
