Select two cult films to compare side by side.
The White Panther Synopsis
Yasmiri, the daughter of a chieftain of Persian hillsmen, falls in love with Tommy Farrell, an English officer stationed at the Khyber Pass. Yasmiri's family deplores her infatuation and seeks revenge against the British when Tommy dishonors her. They capture Irene, the governor's daughter whom Tommy loves, and plan to sacrifice her. "The White Panther," Bruce Wainright--actually another British officer and champion of victims of the desert bandits--rescues Irene and holds the angry natives at bay until the cavalry arrives. Tommy meets his death in a feud, and Irene and Wainright marry.
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.
"The White Panther" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
