The Man Who Fights Alone Synopsis
John Marble (William Farnum), a construction engineer is stricken by paralysis and begins to envision the growth of love between his wife Marion (Lois Wilson) and his best friend, Bob Alten (Edward Everett Horton). Bent on suicide, however, the shock of seeing his wife and child endangered on a broken bridge shakes him to recover from his illness and discover that his suspicions were all imaginary.
A Law Unto Herself Synopsis
Alouette, the daughter of prosperous French vintner LeSieur Juste DeLarme, secretly marries Bertrand Beaubien although her father wants her to wed wealthy German Kurt Von Klassner. After Kurt slays Bertrand, Alouette is forced to marry the brutal German, and only her love for her little son Bertrand, whom Kurt imagines is his offspring, but who actually is the slain Frenchman's, saves her from complete unhappiness. Years later, when the Germans invade France during World War I, Kurt assists them although they have killed his father-in-law. Bertrand's young sweetheart is killed during the German occupation of the village, and fiercely determined to drive them out, he enlists in the French army. With the arrival of the French forces, the town is rescued, and Kurt, through Bertrand's testimony, is arrested as a spy.
"The Man Who Fights Alone" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Law Unto Herself" offers its own unique cult appeal.
