The Night Hawk Synopsis
Pursued for robbery by New York City police, a crook known as "Night Hawk" befriends José Valdez, a Mexican American who has come to town to hire an assassin to kill the sheriff of a western town. Hawk takes the job, and Valdez helps him escape the city. However, when he arrives in the West, he falls in love with the sheriff's daughter, Clia Milton, and is unable to complete his mission. He joins Sheriff Milton's posse when José Valdez's father, a cattle rustler, illegally makes himself sheriff; single-handedly, Night Hawk rescues the girl from José's brigands.
The Wine Girl Synopsis
Andrea Minghetti runs a California vineyard with the help of his pretty niece Bona, who cooks for the employees. A worker named Chico Piave, who belongs to a secret crime society, tries unsuccessfully to force himself on Bona, and later, he demands that Andrea give him both the young woman and a large sum in cash. Meanwhile, the wealthy Frank Harris accepts a job at the vineyard on a dare and is so impressed with Bona's cooking that he offers her a position in his mother's kitchen. Mrs. Harris treats Bona cruelly until word comes that Bona has inherited a fortune from Andrea, who has disappeared in her absence. Mrs. Harris' sudden kindness dismays Bona, who returns home and informs the police of Chico's earlier threats. Chico is arrested, but Andrea, who merely hid to escape the criminal, returns to the vineyard, as does Frank, who declares his love for Bona.
"The Night Hawk" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Wine Girl" offers its own unique cult appeal.
