To please his sister, Granger sacrifices Margery, who seeks work and later gives birth. After her baby's death, Margery goes West, where she befriends and old miner who later leaves her his fortune. Meanwhile, Granger becomes involved in a fraudulent mining deal, and because of George Osborne's perjured testimony, he is sent to prison for five years.

Diane of the Green Van Synopsis
Wealthy heiress Diane Westfall, bored with her life, hops into a green van and sets out to seek adventure. She doesn't know that four men are pursuing her--her cousin Carl, who wants her inheritance; Baron Tregar of the small Balkan country of Houdania, who believes that Diane may be the rightful heir to the Houdanian throne; Prince Ronador, who also believes she may be the heir to the throne but wants to kill her so he can get control of it; and Philip Poynter, a young American friend of Baron Tregar's who has met and fallen in love with Diane, and sets out to protect her.
"Wedlock" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Diane of the Green Van" offers its own unique cult appeal.
