The French Doll Synopsis
Georgine Mazulier, the daughter of a French furniture dealer, is exploited by her father and Snyder, an American hustler, to sell fake antiques to millionaires. Concerned by Georgine's fascination with Pedro Carrova, a gigolo, the Mazuliers take Georgine to the U.S., where they target "Kippered Kod" tycoon Wellington Wick as her prospective husband. Wellington falls in love with Georgine, but she remains loyal to Pedro. While visiting Palm Beach, Florida, she is outraged at the sight of Pedro with his lover, the wife of an elderly millionaire. The millionaire is equally outraged and attempts to shoot his faithless wife, but accidentally wounds Georgine. She then realizes that Wellington is a worthy suitor and consents to marry him.
Princess Virtue Synopsis
Count Oudoff, a fortune-hunting European nobleman, marries a wealthy American widow and brings his new wife and her pretty young daughter Lianne back to Paris. When word gets around that Lianne stands to inherit a good deal of money when her rich grandmother passes away, every gold-digging nobleman in Paris sets his sights on her, but she's waiting for a special "prince" to sweep her away. When her distant cousin Basil arrives from Amerca on a mission from her grandmother to investigate the young girl's situation, Lianne believes that she might have finally found the "prince" she has sought.
"The French Doll" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Princess Virtue" offers its own unique cult appeal.
