Warrior Gap Synopsis
Captain Deane, Major Burleigh and their troops are attacked by a band of hostile Native Americans. Although the soldiers have been ordered to avoid a direct military confrontation, the vainglorious Major Burleigh insists on counterattacking. Deane refuses and Burleigh orders his arrest for insubordination and cowardice. Meanwhile, Deane and his men come to the defense of Elinor Folsom when another hostile band attacks her isolated ranch. After Deane is cleared of the charges, he defeats Burleigh in a fistfight, but Helen's father, John Folsom, convinces the major to not report the incident. Deane is then ordered to convey a military payroll, and Burleigh incites a group of Indians to intercept him. Elinor learns of the plot and rides to warn Deane. As they fight for their lives, the cavalry comes to the rescue. Burleigh is fatally shot and confesses that he, not Deane, has the payroll money. Later, a wedding ceremony is held for Elinor and Captain Deane.
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.
"Warrior Gap" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
