White Youth Synopsis
Convent-reared Aline Ann Belame receives a letter from her grandfather General Belame, whom she had never previously met. The letter summons Aline to the old man's plantation to meet the husband he has chosen for her. Elated at the prospect of having a home and a husband, Aline arrives at the plantation only to learn that her fiancé, Monsieur Cayetane, is a withered old man. Aline refuses the match and soon falls in love with Burton Striker, who is installing a vault door on the General's wine cellar. When their plans for elopement are discovered, Cayetane challenges Burton to a duel. Cayetane's bullet goes astray and breaks the General's prized pipe, prompting him to break his granddaughter's engagement. However, the General still withholds his blessings, so Burton retaliates by withholding the combination to the vault. The General graciously concedes defeat.
Sinbad, the Sailor Synopsis
A boy, who has been reading the adventures of Sinbad, falls asleep and, in his dreams, goes through Sinbad's experiences.
"White Youth" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Sinbad, the Sailor" offers its own unique cult appeal.
