The Wedding Song Synopsis
Hayes Hallan leaves the Pacific island where he was born for San Francisco to dispose of a fortune in pearls he has accumulated. He is befriended by confidence man Paul Glynn, who, learning about the pearls, arranges for his "family" to meet them in San Francisco. Following Glynn's plans, Hayes falls in love with and marries Glynn's sister, Beatrice. The newlyweds and the bogus family go to the island, where Beatrice has a change in heart and refuses to go along with the scheme. Glynn, however, makes her open Hayes's safe. Hayes appears and forces them at gunpoint to leave the island. Beatrice learns that a bomb has been planted under Hayes's house, retrieves it, and throws it off a cliff. The explosion creates a landslide, which sinks the crooks' ship. Beatrice and Hayes are reunited.
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 Wedding Song" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
