The Whirlpool Synopsis

Wanting to impress the beautiful Bella Cavallo, whose stepfather Ferris forces her to act as a decoy in his Tenderloin gambling establishment, Richard Brettner commits a minor robbery. Judge Reverton pardons the love-struck young man but regrets his decision when Richard is arrested for murder. Through his physician, Dr. Comyns, the judge meets Bella and soon makes her his wife. The doctor, however, tells Reverton about Bella's profession, thereby causing him to distrust his new wife. Reverton returns home to find Bella planning a night meeting with Arthur Hallam, the murdered man's nephew. Expecting the worst, the judge soon realizes that Bella plotted only to beguile Arthur into a confession that he, and not Richard, committed the murder. Richard is released and the married couple is reunited.

Greater Than Fame Synopsis

With only a card of introduction to a music impresario, singer Margaret Brooke goes to the city to establish her career. Once there, she meets young violinist Jack Martin, who falls in love with her. The impresario introduces her to art patron Mrs. Philip Waring, whose husband offers her an apartment under the pretext that it belongs to a traveling friend. After Philip makes advances to Margaret, she realizes her naïveté, but Jack refuses to believe her story. She then appeals to the impresario for help--and he also attempts to take advantage of her. After finally persuading Jack of her innocence, he writes an opera which catapults Margaret to success, and as the curtain rings down, the two new stars on the operatic horizon announce their marriage.
