The Green God Synopsis

Major Temple vainly tries to purchase of the priests the Green God he sees on a visit to China. He commissions Robert Ashton to get it for him, promising him the hand of his daughter in marriage. Ashton steals the idol, and brings it to the Morgan home, demanding a cash bonus as well as the girl. Temple refuses, and vows that Ashton shall not leave the house alive unless he delivers the god. Muriel goes to his room that night to plead with him for release from the promise, but he is obdurate. In the morning he is found dead. Doors are locked, and the only clue is Muriel's handkerchief, which she dropped. She is suspected, as is Temple, but she is saved by Morton after stirring scenes in a Chinese temple to which he has been lured.

Rose of the South Synopsis

Mr. Curtis returns to his Alma mater and regales students with stories about the Civil War, which ended fifty years before. He tells them about his college friends, Dick Randolph and Watkins, who were at first rivals for Marian - who far preferred Dick - and then rivals on the battlefield. Watkins, a Union officer, captured Dick, a Confederate, but Marian helped her sweetheart escape. Watkins and Dick were then wounded in the same battle and died in each other's arms after asserting their friendship and forgetting their past differences. Back in the present, an aged Marian joins the group. She dies while listening to Mr. Curtis, and fifty years after she and Dick had been lovers in the flesh, her spirit goes to join his.
