The Wolf Woman Synopsis
An narcissistic woman with the ability to charm, Leila Aradella reaps delight from preying upon weak men. Her first victim is John Morton, a talented lawyer, whom she ruins both morally and financially. Her second victim, Rex Walden, the generous son of society matron Mrs. Walden, becomes her complete slave. Mrs. Walden sends her elder son Franklin to try to dissuade Leila from toying with Rex's affections. Franklin, however, also falls under Leila's spell, and Rex is driven to suicide by her callous behavior. Desperate, Mrs. Walden enlists Adele Harley, a girl of strong moral character, to fight Leila for Franklin's affections. Adele's determined victory causes Leila to lose her confidence, and in a drunken state, she cuts her own face with a shard from her shattered mirror. Permanently disfigured, Leila ends a broken and lonely woman.
Those Who Pay Synopsis
She was alone in the world save for her little sister, and little sister was dying. She wanted a doll for Christmas and Dorothy had no money. She stole one and three persons paid a heavy price for the tiny toy.
"The Wolf Woman" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Those Who Pay" offers its own unique cult appeal.
