The Martyr Sex Synopsis
Summoned to a cabin in the southern woods, Dr. Ross Wayne treats Branch Paxton, wounded in a feud, by amputating an arm. At the same time he warns Paxton that his daughter, Beulah, who has been mistreated, must be given rest and quiet. Paxton recovers and swears vengeance on Wayne, believing that the doctor amputated out of malice. Paxton, his son Lem, and a renegade friend named Ed Carter decide to kill Wayne when he makes a house call. Wayne escapes with Beulah, now weak and dying, to a shack in the woods. The three men follow in pursuit. Wayne tricks Lem into entering the cabin and forcibly transfers blood from him to Beulah, thus saving her life. The situation is resolved, and all ends happily.
"The Trail of the Octopus" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Martyr Sex" offers its own unique cult appeal.
