Whispering Wires Synopsis
A whispering voice over the telephone foretells a murder to occur at a specified time. Another occurs on schedule. The heroine, Doris Stockbridge, is then threatened, but she is saved through the ingenuity of her sweetheart, Barry, who, with the help of Cassidy and McCarthy, two boob detectives, uncovers the diabolical scheming of an ex-convict and his inventor pal, both of whom are seeking revenge. A bloodhound is called in, and the villains are tracked down with alternately thrilling and comic sequences.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"Whispering Wires" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
