The Veiled Marriage Synopsis
Drinking pals Fred Peyton and John Browning are both members of high society. Upon meeting impoverished Margaret Fallon, Peyton is so impressed with her beauty that he becomes a frequent visitor at the Fallon house. One evening, while returning from dinner, an explosion overturns their automobile and Margaret is temporarily blinded. Meanwhile, Browning has become engaged to a wealthy woman whom Peyton covets for her wealth and Margaret's blindness provides the opportunity for him to obtain this prize. Stealing his friend's wedding license, Peyton substitutes Margaret's name for that of Browning's intended bride and after intoxicating his friend, Peyton sends for Margaret and marries her to Browning. The next day, Peyton lies to his friend that he had drunkenly insisted upon the marriage. Later, when Margaret's eyesight is restored and she is seeking employment, she meets Browning and the two fall in love, unaware that they are husband and wife. Eventually, Browning learns that the woman from whom he is seeking a divorce is actually the woman he loves and, after Peyton is shot by a former mistress, all ends happily.
Daredevil Kate Synopsis
Orphaned sisters Kate and Irene are separated as children, but each keeps half of their mother's wedding ring. Years later Irene marries John West, the head of a munitions camp. Kate happens to run the saloon in the camp, and she and Irene become friends but neither ever imagines that the other is her long-lost sister. Matters take a turn for the worse, however, when Kate starts a romance with Cliff, Irene's adoptive brother, and Irene strongly disapproves of the relationship.
"The Veiled Marriage" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Daredevil Kate" offers its own unique cult appeal.
