Watch Your Wife Synopsis
Writer James Langham and his wealthy wife, Claudia, quarrel and are divorced. Claudia moves into a posh hotel and renews her acquaintance with Alphonse Marsac, an old European friend with an eye on her fortune. Alone in the family mansion, James goes to an agency and rents a "wife" to be his daytime companion and housekeeper. Claudia finds them together one evening, and, suspecting the worst of an innocent relationship, impulsively informs Alphonse that she will marry him. James goes after her, sweeps her from a moving train, and marries her for the second time.
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.
"Watch Your Wife" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
