The Little Adventuress Synopsis
After five years of married life, Leonard Stoddard leaves his Victoria in tears and goes to the studio of Helen Davis, an artist, for sympathy. Believing that he loves her, Helen agrees to run away with him. Victoria, meanwhile, takes her troubles to Antonio Russo, an actor, and they also decide to run away. Helen and Leonard become stranded and are put up at the ranch of George La Fuente, a wealthy bachelor; and soon after, Victoria and Antonio arrive, lost and in quest of lodging. At dinner, Victoria and Leonard pretend to be strangers. Later, recriminations follow, but La Fuente intervenes and demands that they retire to their respective rooms. The following day, Victoria sympathizes with her husband, who has contracted a cold; but she is at last forced to accept La Fuente's declaration of love.
The Ghost House Synopsis
The old Atwell home is said to be haunted, and Jeremy Foster, the gardener--who is actually the head of a band of thieves that use the house for a hideout--does his best to keep the superstition alive. Despite the rumors, impoverished sisters Lois and Alice Atwell decide to move into the empty family home. They take possession the same night that Ted Rawson is ordered to explore the place as an initiation rite by his fraternity. That same night, Spud Foster, a member of his uncle's gang, hides there with his stolen loot. In the middle of the night, Lois apprehends Ted and takes him captive, believing that he's a burglar. The noise awakens Spud who, mistaking Lois for a ghost, flees the house. After much confusion, Lois' fears about Ted's character are allayed when he helps fight off the thieves; relieved, she confesses her love to the fraternity man.
