The Jack Rider Synopsis
Frank Stevens comes west to claim the ranch he has inherited from his father on the condition that he first prove himself worthy. The hands make life difficult for Frank, who chooses a donkey for his transportation after being bucked off a horse; but he shows fine mettle while getting involved in rodeo stunts. Howard Gribbon frames Frank for a bank robbery and kidnaps Ruth Welsh, the banker's daughter; but Frank chances upon the real culprits and rescues Ruth just before the automobile goes over a cliff and kills the villain.
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 Jack Rider" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
