The Scarlet Car Synopsis
After discovering that Cyrus Peabody, the president of the bank, and his son Ernest have embezzled $35,000, their cashier, Paul Revere Forbes, threatens to expose them. In a rage, the two men strike him on the head and, persuaded that the busybody is dead, ask their broker to dump the body off in a deserted place. But the broker has an accident and is killed in the crash. The cashier, who was actually still alive, comes to and, while suffering a loss of memory, wanders off. Still believing their employee dead, the Peabodys accuse their cashier of having stolen the money. But Beatrice Forbes, Paul Revere's daughter, and her boyfriend, idle-turned-responsible Billy Winthrop, are on the alert.
The Price of Silence Synopsis
A woman gives up her illegitimate child, and then marries without telling her new husband about the child. A copy exists in the Archives du Film du CNC according to the American Silent Feature Film Survival Database.
"The Scarlet Car" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Price of Silence" offers its own unique cult appeal.
