The Last Door Synopsis
At a reception given at the Rogers mansion in his honor, Somerset Carroll surprises the guests by averring that he would give aid to a female convict reported to have escaped. Later, alone in the library, he is appealed to by a young girl who confesses to being pursued by the police, and he takes her to his own house. There she reveals herself to be Helen Rogers, playing a game with him on the advice of her guests. He then declares himself a crook, holding the real Carroll prisoner, with the intention of robbing the Rogers mansion. She follows and shields "The Magnet" from the police, the real Carroll having escaped and notified them, and through her interference he eludes his would-be captors.
The Love Hunger Synopsis
After preaching at a camp revival meeting that charity begins in the home, Littleton minister Hamilton Gregory finds a girl calling herself only Fran on his doorstep and takes her into his home. Fran soon finds that Mrs. Gregory is unhappy because Gregory has no affection for her, preferring instead his secretary Grace Noir. When Fran admits to Gregory that she is his daughter by an abandoned woman, and attempts to have him get rid of Grace, Grace has Bob Clinton make inquiries concerning Fran's past. When the circus comes to town, Fran, in disguise, substitutes for an ill lion tamer, because the circus is her hidden background. Seeing her in danger, Gregory realizes his familial responsibilities and refuses Grace. Fran then marries the superintendent of her school.
"The Last Door" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Love Hunger" offers its own unique cult appeal.
