The Lily Synopsis
The Comte de Maigny, father of Odette and Christiane, forces the former to give up her first love for his own selfish reasons; Odette reconciles herself to a loveless life but takes care that a similar fate does not befall her sister. Christiane's love for Arnaud, a married artist, has an unfavorable effect on the courtship of their brother, Max, with a wealthy heiress; furious with his younger daughter, the count is taken to task by Odette for pawning the house furnishings to support his mistress. The artist's wife finally agrees to a divorce, paving the way for Christiane's marriage and for the union of Odette with the family lawyer, who has loved her for years. De Maigny finds consolation with his mistress.
A Nine O'Clock Town Synopsis
David Clary runs a sleepy little dry-goods store in a sleepy little town. A vamp from the big city shows up, intent on taking Clary for everything he's worth by a combination of seduction and blackmail. But the day is saved by the ingenuity of David's corset model.
"The Lily" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Nine O'Clock Town" offers its own unique cult appeal.
