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.

The Great Shadow Synopsis

Jim McDonald, the foreman of a shipbuilding plant and head of the labor union, strives to combat the anarchistic propaganda being put forth by Klimoff, the leader of a Bolshevik gang whose goal is to disrupt the country with strikes and anarchy. Despite McDonald's efforts, a strike is called, resulting in chaos. McDonald's child is knocked down by runaway horses abandoned by their striking driver, and dies. Mob scenes take place in America, as well as in Russia. Eventually, the unrest is quelled with an armistice called between Capital and Labor for a year, during which time wages are to be increased to reflect the cost of living, and leaders are to work out a common plan for their mutual advantage. The strikers now realize that they have been pawns of the Bolsheviks and call off the strike, agreeing to the plan.
