A woman of Spain finds herself torn between two vows: her marriage vow and her vow to kill the man who murdered her brother. Convinced that her husband is her brother's killer, she is faced with a crisis of conscience.
The Despoiler Synopsis
In war-torn Europe, Colonel Damien seizes an enemy town, then to persuade the defeated soldiers to give up their ill-gotten money, the Emir of Balkania, commander of the supporting native troops, threatens to unleash his men on the women who are staying in the town abbey. After giving the captured men a payment deadline, Damien collapses in a chair and falls asleep. As he sleeps, the emir goes to the abbey where Sylvia, the colonel's daughter, is staying in secret. He offers to free the other women in exchange for her sexual favors, but after complying with his demands, she shoots and kills him. When Damien discovers the emir's corpse, he orders the assassin shot, and covered in a veil, Sylvia is promptly executed. After her body is identified, the colonel is overcome with grief. Finally, he wakes up in his armchair and, realizing the tragedy was only a dream, orders his troops to leave the town in peace.
"The Stronger Vow" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Despoiler" offers its own unique cult appeal.
