The Hero of the Hour Synopsis
A father arranges to have his effeminate son kidnapped by cowboys to make a man out of him.
The Man Above the Law Synopsis
Having been unlucky in love, Duke Chalmers renounces civilization and moves to New Mexico, where he establishes himself as an illicit whiskey trader. Although he does not really love her, Duke marries Natchah, a Navaho Indian, who bears him a daughter, Tonah. When Esther Brown arrives from the East and opens a school in the small New Mexican settlement, Duke denies Tonah permission to attend, but Esther refuses to abandon her interest in the child and soon grows to love her. Duke rescues Esther from a pair of drunken Mexicans, after which he falls in love with her. Esther, however, reminds him of his duty toward his wife and daughter, whereupon Duke closes his shop and takes his family to a new life in the Far West.
"The Hero of the Hour" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Man Above the Law" offers its own unique cult appeal.
