The Guardsman Synopsis
A jealous stage actor disguises himself as a Russian guardsman in order to test his actress wife's loyalty.
The Bride of Fear Synopsis
Distraught young Ann Carter is saved from committing suicide by Hayden Masters, but he turns out to be a vicious criminal who wants to make her his partner-in-crime. Fearful of what might happen to her if she doesn't marry him as he asked, she accepts, but on their wedding night he is arrested for burglary and thrown into prison. Broke and alone, Ann gets a job as a secretary to a wealthy executive, whose son Donald falls for her. When she hears that Masters has been killed in a failed prison escape attempt, she accepts Donald's proposal--then Masters shows up, very much alive.
"The Guardsman" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Bride of Fear" offers its own unique cult appeal.
