The Girl from God's Country Synopsis
J. Randall Carslake, a millionaire airplane manufacturer, his daughter, Marion, and her fiancé are on a hunting expedition in Canada. There they meet Neeka, a half-breed Native American, who rescues Carslake after her grandfather accuses the millionaire of betraying the girl's mother. Unaware that Neeka is actually his daughter, Carslake adopts the girl and takes her to California. Carslake is entered in a trans-Pacific flying race against Otto Kraus, who recruits Neeka as an ally after she and Marion quarrel over social blunders. Kraus obtains the secret of a "solidified gasoline," which Carslake himself has obtained fraudulently from a demented inventor. The inventor's consciousness returns during a hangar fire, and Neeka, realizing she has been duped, goes to his rescue. Carslake's pilot, Owen Glendon, is injured in fire, so Neeka volunteers the services of her sweetheart, blinded French aviator Pierre LeMort, for whom she will act as his eyes. Over the Pacific Ocean, Kraus attempts to ram the Carslake airplane, causing his own to crash. Neeka pursues the villain and he drowns during the ensuing fight.
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 Girl from God's Country" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
