The Light of Western Stars Synopsis
Cowhand Gene Stewart (Jack Holt) spends much of his time as a drunk and disorderly "two-gun rowdy", sinking to the depths among the Mexican riffraff (sleeping off a drinking spree in a pig sty) on the Mexico border, until the rancher's daughter, Madeline Hammond (Billie Dove), tells him she has faith in him becoming a better man. But he is truly tested when Brand (Noah Beery), the outlaw leader, decides to take over the ranch.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"The Light of Western Stars" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
