The Right Way Synopsis
Two young boys get in trouble with the law and wind up in prison. One, who was raised in poverty in the slums, goes to a reformatory and picks up tips on how to become a master criminal. When he gets out he refines his criminal skills, but a stool-pigeon rats him out and he winds up in an adult prison, where he is subjected to severely-regimented behavior, inhuman conditions, and brutal guards. The second boy comes from a wealthy family and is sent to prison for forging his father's signature--coincidentally, the same prison where the poor boy, who had been released but is back in for assaulting the stoolie, and he become friends. When a member of the poor boy's gang is unjustly sentenced to death for the stoolie's murder, the two boys escape to try to clear his name and find the real killer.
My Lady Incog. Synopsis
Financial troubles force Nell Carroll, a thoroughbred, to seek employment in a detective agency which has just taken up the trail of a very baffling jewelry robbery in an exclusive summer colony. In order to work from the inside, she is sent to the place as the Baroness Du Vassey. Suspicion promptly fastens upon Teddy De Veaux, the son of the woman who first invites Nell to her home. Every evidence points to him until the leader of the crooks, suspecting the real identity of the "baroness." decides to present himself as the Baron Du Vassey, her husband. The arrival of the "baron" causes consternation in the heart of Nell, who does not know whether she is facing an impostor or has chanced upon the name of a real nobleman. Trusting to chance to give her some hint as to the truth, she decides to face the man and attempt to outwit him. But more than wits are necessary to defeat the crook, with whom the butler is allied. It comes to a question of a steady hand and quick trigger finger when the thieves are caught red-handed and spring upon the innocent young Teddy.
"The Right Way" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "My Lady Incog." offers its own unique cult appeal.
