The Pride of Palomar Synopsis
A soldier inaccurately reported as dead returns home to his Spanish family's estate in California, only to find his father deceased and his ancestral land in the hands of strangers.
Immediate Lee Synopsis
Immediate Lee, employed on the ranch owned by one Masters, is discharged by the manager through the influence of one of his men, who is in the brand blotting game with Masters. Beulah, a dance-hall girl, has attracted the attention of Hurley, a brand blotter, but prefers Lee. Hurley entraps Lee and cuts his mouth open with a wide gash, which leaves a permanent scar. Lee vows vengeance and follows the man all over the country. He at last meets him face to face, but Hurley is saved by the intercession of Beulah. He later is killed in a fierce encounter. The brand blotters are discovered and punished by the aid of Immediate Lee, and Beulah receives the reward of loyalty and devotion by becoming Lee's wife.
"The Pride of Palomar" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Immediate Lee" offers its own unique cult appeal.
