The Hole in the Wall Synopsis
Madame Mysteria, a fashionable medium, is killed in a train crash, and her three larcenous assistants-The Fox, Limpy Jim, and Deagon-decide not to identify the body, because the medium had extracted valuable information from her wealthy clients. The Fox finds a substitute in Jean Oliver, who has been framed by wealthy Mrs. Ramsey to keep her away from the dowager's love-struck son, Donald. Jean accepts the role, providing they aid her in kidnapping Mrs. Ramsey's grandson as an act of vengeance. Meanwhile, Jean's former fiancé, reporter Gordon Grant, investigates the connection between Madame Mysteria and the robberies of her former clients. After he uncovers the swindlers and the missing Ramsey baby, Jean is cleared by a statement from Mrs. Ramsey and is reunited with Gordon.
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 Hole in the Wall" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
