The Isle of Lost Ships Synopsis
A Pacific Ocean steamer with a brutal captain, Peter Forbes (Noah Beery), and carrying a motley cargo of passengers, drifts into the Sargasso Sea and is ship wrecked on the Island of Lost Ships.
The Guilty Man Synopsis
Marie Dubois, deeply in love with young lawyer Claude Lescuyer, entrusts her honor to him, but shortly before the birth of their child, he abandons her. In order to legitimize her daughter Claudine, Marie weds Flambon, the brutal owner of a Paris café. Eighteen years later, Flambon orders Claudine to work in the café, where she falls in love with Gaston, a waiter. Because Flambon owes a large sum of money to Jean, the café's former proprietor, he promises him the hand of his daughter in marriage. Claudine refuses to part with Gaston, which so enrages Flambon that he beats the girl and nearly kills Marie. To save her mother's life, Claudine shoots her stepfather and is subsequently tried for murder. The prosecutor, Claude Lescuyer, learns to his shame that the defendant is his own child, and in the courtroom, he names himself as the guilty man. The jury exonerates Claudine, and she is united with Gaston.
"The Isle of Lost Ships" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Guilty Man" offers its own unique cult appeal.
