Wedding Bells Synopsis
Rosalie and Reginald become acquainted while they are guests at a hotel in Palm Beach, Florida, and later they are married. Misunderstandings, aggravated by a case of measles, send the young wife to Reno, Nevada for a divorce. A year later she finds her ex-husband engaged to Marcia Hunter--a match promoted by Mrs. Hunter with an eye for Carter's wealth and social position. Regretting her hasty divorce, Rosalie almost succeeds in winning him back until the Hunters, a poet, and a rejected suitor interfere with her plan. Nevertheless, Rosalie stops the wedding by sending a note to the bishop, telling him that Reggie is divorced. Returning to Reggie, she becomes Mrs. Carter again.
The Teeth of the Tiger Synopsis
Living quietly under the assumed name Paul Sernine, reformed gentleman crook Arsene Lupin is summoned to protect his invalid, wealthy friend Henry Forbes. Despite the watchfulness of Paul and Alexandre Mazeroux, a fellow criminal turned detective, Forbes is murdered. French detective Jabot and the New York detective force have many suspects including Paul, Marie Forbes, the dead man's widow who is suspected on the basis of an apple found with an imprint of her teeth on it, Gordon Savage, her lover, and Florence Chandler, Forbes' secretary and beneficiary under his will. After a series of traps, false arrests, chases through secret passageways, and an escape from handcuffs, Paul deduces that the true criminal is Doctor Varney, who cared for Forbes. Paul prevents Varney from blowing up the house, and at the same time wins the affections of Florence.
"Wedding Bells" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Teeth of the Tiger" offers its own unique cult appeal.
