The Northern Code Synopsis
When drunken Canadian trapper Raoul La Fane attacks his young wife Marie, she takes a shot at him. La Fane falls, and Marie, thinking she killed him, flees into the white wilderness. Louis Le Blanc comes to her aid, and later they are married. When Raoul suddenly shows up, Marie confesses her guilty secret to Louis. Setting out on Raoul's trail, Louis finds him, and the two men get into a brutal fight. Raoul falls over a cliff and dies, and Louis returns to a grateful Marie.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"The Northern Code" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
