The Seventh Bandit Synopsis
David Scanlon and his brother, Paul, leave their farm and go to California during the gold rush. Paul falls in love with Ann Drath, a dance hall pianist, and is murdered by jealous Ben Goring. David swears revenge and, working on a tip from Ann, poses as an outlaw, joining Goring's bandit band. During a raid on the town bank, David is wounded. Goring abducts Shirley Chalmette, the town doctor, to care for David's head wound, but despite her care David begins to lose his sight. He manages to force Goring to sign a confession, however, and then, although completely blind, kills him in a gunfight. With careful treatment by Dr. Chalmette, his new wife, David recovers full use of his sight.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"The Seventh Bandit" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
