The Marriage Whirl Synopsis
Young Marian hooks up with Arthur, a boy who loves nothing more than drinking and fast music. He takes Marian to a string of wild parties, and she falls for him. She marries him on his promise to settle down from his wild life. It isn't long before he becomes restless, though, and takes up with a flashy dancer. Feeling neglected, Marian meets up with a former boyfriend, Bob. Complications ensue.
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 Marriage Whirl" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
