Walloping Wallace Synopsis
Buddy Wallace, foreman of Carol Grey's Lazy B Ranch, fires Squinty Burnt for shirking his work while loading a shipment of cattle and gets the best of Squinty in the resulting fight. To get even, Squinty forges Carol's name on a bill of sale, abducts her, and hides her in a squatter's cabin. Buddy sets off in pursuit; gets involved in a series of fights, stunts, and horse races while escaping from the sheriff, who arrested Buddy for kidnapping Carol; and succeeds in rescuing Carol and saving the cattle. Buddy is rewarded with Carol's promise to marry him.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"Walloping Wallace" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
