The Ne'er-Do-Well Synopsis
Disgusted with his spendthrift son, Kirk Anthony's father has Kirk shanghaied and taken to Panama, where he (Kirk) attracts the attention of Mrs. Edith Cortlandt; falls in love with Chiquita, the daughter of a Panamanian general; gets a railroad job through Stephen Cortlandt (Edith's husband); and decides to make something of himself when he meets Allen Allan, a Negro soldier of fortune. Stephen Cortlandt's death is blamed on Kirk until Edith produces a suicide note; he succeeds in his railroad position and returns to the United States with Chiquita to ask his father's forgiveness.
The Night Riders Synopsis
In Alberta, Canada, a Cornish emigrant unmasks a rustler posing as the girl's "blind" father.
"The Ne'er-Do-Well" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Night Riders" offers its own unique cult appeal.
