The Man Between Synopsis
Canadian woodsman Jules Lamont leaves his wife, Zephne, after a misunderstanding and becomes infatuated with Joe Cateau's bride, a showgirl. Joe is killed when the two men fight, and Jules goes to prison, where he meets Pierre Lebec, an inmate who closely resembles Jules. When Jules learns that Pierre is about to be released, he persuades him to go to his own home and pose as Jules himself. Pierre does so and falls in love with Zephne, who believes him to be Jules. Pierre remains in disguise, "the man between," until the real Lamont returns and is killed. Then Zephne learns the truth about Pierre, and they marry.
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 Man Between" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
