The Sea Tiger Synopsis
Julian, a Spanish fisherman in the Canary Islands, has a younger brother Charles who tends to get in trouble with women. When Charles sets his sights on a wealthy aristocratic woman, Julian pretends to be in love with her in order to protect his brother, but it's not long before he realizes he actually is in love with her.
The Follies Girl Synopsis
The relatives of dying Edward Woodruff, Nina Leffingwell, her brother Frederic, and her cousin Basil, whom she wants to marry, scheme to inherit Woodruff's wealth. Since Woodruff continually calls for an imagined granddaughter, the child of his daughter who died before they could patch up a quarrel which estranged them, Nina gets Doll, a Follies girl, to impersonate the granddaughter, try to endear herself to Woodruff, and thus inherit the money. Doll would then be paid off and the relatives would get the inheritance. When Doll's administrations cause Woodruff to recover, Nina sends for Woodruff's grandson Ned, whom he disowned for marrying beneath him, hoping that Ned will send Doll away. When Ned seems to fall in love with Doll, Nina tells Woodruff that Ned and Doll are secretly meeting in the estate lodge. Woodruff investigates and finds that Doll and Ned are married and have a baby boy. Delighted, Woodruff forgives Ned.
"The Sea Tiger" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Follies Girl" offers its own unique cult appeal.
