The West~Bound Limited Synopsis
Railroad engineer Bill Buckley narrowly averts injury to Esther Miller, the daughter of the president of the company, when she falls on the tracks in front of his speeding train. In receiving a reward from Mr. Miller, Bill becomes involved in the villainous schemes of Raymond McKim, Mr. Miller's personal secretary, who makes it appear that Mrs. Buckley has been unfaithful to Bill and attempts to force Esther to marry him (McKim). Bill's son, Johnny, interferes on Esther's behalf; McKim receives his just deserts; and all ends happily.
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.
