The Warning Signal Synopsis
"Red" Dryden, son of a wealthy railroad magnate, who wishes to succeed independently, conceals his identity and takes a menial job on his father's line. He quickly proves himself to be extremely competent and arouses the enmity of a superintendent. The two men fight over a girl, and Red is transferred to a remote signal shack. The superintendent tampers with the warning signal at Red's shack, and the president's special thunders through, headed for a collision with another train. Red uses a radio device of his invention and alerts the engineer to the danger, preventing a disaster. Red's father learns of his son's heroism and appoints him to the presidency of the railroad.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"The Warning Signal" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
