The Tiger's Claw Synopsis
Sam Sandell, an American engineer working in India, is attacked by a tiger but rescued and nursed back to health by Chameli Brentwood, a half-caste. Sam's subsequent marriage to Chameli angers her uncle, Sathoo Ram, and Raj Singh, a former suitor, and results in a plot to destroy Sam and his dam. Sam's onetime English sweetheart, Harriet Halehurst, on the other hand, takes the marriage well and even accepts Chameli into society. Chameli proves to be faithless and is killed by a bullet meant for Sam, who has again been saved from a tiger--this time by Harriet. Sathoo, Singh, and their fellow Thugs succeed in breaking the dam; Sam is reunited with Harriet after rescuing her from the flood.
Children of the Feud Synopsis
Mountaineer Pap Clayton has promised his daughter Sairy Ann (Dorothy Gish) to his cousin Jed Martin, but Sairy Ann loves Dr. Richard Cavanagh (Sam DeGrasse), the son of Judge Lee Cavanagh. In the midst of a feud between the Claytons and the Jacksons, a jealous Jed sets out to kill Richard. Jed shoots a deputy who gets in his way and is taken before Judge Cavanagh, whom the Claytons have threatened to kill if Jed is convicted. The Claytons are true to their word when Cavanagh finds him guilty, and Richard immediately vows to kill Jed, who has escaped. Sairy Ann, however, reminds Richard that he has railed against family feuding and has said that only the law can take a life. A sobered Richard captures Jed and hands him over to authorities; then, after he has forgiven the Claytons, he and Sairy Ann become engaged.
"The Tiger's Claw" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Children of the Feud" offers its own unique cult appeal.
