The White Mouse Synopsis
Sergeant Blake is detailed to break up a band smuggling Chinamen across the border.
The Shrine of Happiness Synopsis
Dave Scott, a wealthy mine owner, is killed. His daughter, Marie, goes to her father's old friend Richard Clark, knowing that he will take care of her interests. Clark and his grown son, Ted, become attached to Marie. Innocent in manner, she sees no necessity for concealing her preference for the elder Clark. In time, Ted's attachment culminates in a proposal, which is rejected. Ted accuses his father of standing in his way and the father makes Marie promise that she will accept Ted. A few minutes before the time set for the ceremony, a note from Ted explains that he realizes the love that exists between Marie and his father, and rather than exact the sacrifice, he has left his father's home, leaving them free to marry.
"The White Mouse" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Shrine of Happiness" offers its own unique cult appeal.
