When Danger Smiles Synopsis
Ray Chapman becomes intrigued with veiled Frania Caravalle at a dance, but he is unable to learn her name. Soon afterward, he attempts to help a robbery victim, is injured, and is taken to the Caravalle home, where he is nursed by Frania. In his dazed condition he neither recognizes Frania nor remembers their encounter; therefore, when Ray agrees with Francisco Caravalle to become betrothed to his daughter, he still does not recognize Frania. She is infuriated and plots with her hated former suitor, Jacob Holnar, to kill Ray. Instead, Ray's friend, Jim Barker, is killed, and Ray is suspected of that murder. Just as he is about to be lynched his horse drags him away, but Frania, who now understands the situation, arrives to save him. Holnar confesses, and the lovers are united.
The Night Riders Synopsis
In Alberta, Canada, a Cornish emigrant unmasks a rustler posing as the girl's "blind" father.
"When Danger Smiles" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Night Riders" offers its own unique cult appeal.
