Triple Action Synopsis
Deputy ranger Dave Mannion is expelled from the force for allowing the notorious Braxton gang to drive diseased cattle past his border patrol. He suspects Eric Prang of being a spy for the gang and sets out to prove it. However, when Dave discovers a herd of the infected cattle, he is shot by Blackie Braxton, who sends the herd and his men to a hacienda run by unsuspecting Don Pío Méndez. Donna, Méndez's daughter, finds the injured Dave and summons his fellow rangers. Prang lures Doris Clayton, Dave's sweetheart, to the hacienda and holds her captive. With the aid of Doris' aviator brother, Dick, Dave parachutes into the hacienda and single-handedly defeats the gang, after which he is reinstated as a ranger.
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.
"Triple Action" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
