The Kingdom Within Synopsis
Hated by his blacksmith father because of his crippled arm, Amos Deming grows up with a keen spiritual insight and a talent for making toys for children. Emily Preston, who lives next door to the Demings, is ostracized by the community because her brother is in jail, but Amos is able to break down her wall of bitterness. When Preston is freed, Krieg tries to implicate him in the murder of Dodd, a lumberman, and threatens Emily with dire consequences if she should talk. Answering Emily's calls for help, Amos struggles with Krieg and miraculously finds his arm cured. Stunned, Krieg stumbles outside into the waiting arms of the law, and Amos receives love and acceptance from his father and Emily.
The Son of His Father Synopsis
A young man with little ambition is given an opportunity to set himself up in business by means of financial support from his father. But the young man becomes involved in a shady railroad deal which threatens to destroy his own father.
"The Kingdom Within" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Son of His Father" offers its own unique cult appeal.
