The White Outlaw Synopsis
Scout, a cowboy's beautiful white horse, flees the ranch after being abused by a sadistic ranch hand. He becomes an outlaw stallion, and it's not long before he manages to attract a considerable herd of followers. However, when local ranchers suspect Scout of "rustling" some of their horses to join his herd, they decide to track him down and put him to death. Scout's owner reluctantly agrees, but has his own plan in mind.
The Fly God Synopsis
Bob Allers, an unfortunate consumptive, and his wife are traveling to Arizona for medicinal purposes. On the way, a highwayman robs them of horse and money. Destitute, they are befriended by William "Red" Saunders, whose sympathy and innate love for his fellow man lands Allers a job in the local saloon. Soon after, when the same highwayman attempts to rob the saloon, Allers kills him with a hammer thrown in self-defense, unaware that the outlaw is the brother of the sheriff. Convicted for murder by the vengeful sheriff, Allers is defended by "Red." The corrupt jury makes its final decision based on whether a crawling fly reaches the top of a window pane. Allers is acquitted, then reunited with his happy wife and newborn child, and they all leave together.
"The White Outlaw" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Fly God" offers its own unique cult appeal.
