The Wheel of Life Synopsis
Captain Yeullat, a young British officer, prevents a young woman from drowning herself in the Thames, but she disappears before he learns her identity. Later in India, he meets her as the wife of Colonel Dangan, and they fall in love.
The Hired Man Synopsis
Ezra Hollins, though a hired man, is ambitious because he loves Ruth Endicott, his employer's daughter. Ruth, not knowing of his love, helps him with his studies, though secretly, because she knows her father would not approve. Ezra passes his entrance examination, but at the last moment gives his tuition money to save the brother of the girl he loves from the results of his speculations from the bank. His failure to go to college is misunderstood, but in the end his name is cleared and Caleb is proud of his chosen son-in-law.
"The Wheel of Life" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Hired Man" offers its own unique cult appeal.
