The Lawless Legion Synopsis
Sheriff Keiver's ( Howard Truesdell ) daughter, Mary ( Nora Lane ), promises to marry Cal Stanley ( Ken Maynard ) if he will drive a large herd of cattle from drought-stricken East Texas across the bad lands controlled by Ramirez ( Paul Hurst ), a rustling renegade, to Grass Valley. Cal is drugged on the way, and Ramírez steals the herd. Cal is held responsible and goes after the herd himself, posing as a cattle buyer. He gets the cattle back and rounds up the rustlers, winning Mary's love for himself.
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 Lawless Legion" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
