The Traffic Cop Synopsis
Joe Regan, a kindly traffic cop, comes home with presents for Jerry Murphy, his young ward, and discovers that the boy has been hit by a car. The doctors advise a sea cure, and Joe takes Jerry to a seaside resort, where they meet Alicia Davidson. Joe falls in love with the girl, but her mother opposes the romance, disapproving of Joe's low social station. Joe later saves the entire Davidson family from certain death when the brakes of their car fail on a mountain road, and Mrs. Davidson then gives her grateful consent to a match between Joe and Alicia.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"The Traffic Cop" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
