The Yellow Handkerchief Synopsis
An exciting account of the capture of a band of Chinese fishermen who are disobeying the coast laws.
The Pointing Finger Synopsis
Mary Murphy, the eldest waif in an orphanage, steals a dress and $3, then escapes to the city. Grosset, the superintendent of the institution, steals $10,000 on the same night, and Mary is suspected of the theft. Mary manages to get a job as assistant to entomologist William Saxton, after she changes her appearance because the Professor dislikes pretty and fashionably dressed young ladies, but his nephew David sees her true beauty and falls in love with her. Grosset arrives at the Professor's house and threatens to expose Mary. Mary discovers Grosset robbing the safe, but he places the blame on her. Saxton was actually hiding behind the curtain the whole time and heard the truth. Grosset is arrested, and Mary weds David.
"The Yellow Handkerchief" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Pointing Finger" offers its own unique cult appeal.
