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.

Thunder Island Synopsis

In Baja Mexico, poor shepherdess Isola Garcia agrees to marry aging rancher Don Pio Mendoza because he is dying and needs an heir for his fortune. She leaves the hacienda when she hears that bandits have raided her flock, and when a young American schooner captain, Paul Corbin, comes to her rescue, she falls in love. Then, as they walk on the beach, Mendoza's secretary arrives to inform her that Don Pio has recovered and wants her to return to him. The secretary takes her to a hotel, where he tries to convince her that he is the real Pio Mendoza, but she refuses to have relations with him unless he marries her the next morning at the church. That night, she encounters a young man, buys his clothes, and escapes the hotel in disguise. At the quay, Isola sees Paul's schooner in the distance and jumps into the water to swim to him. However, the gang has taken over the schooner and imprisoned Paul and his crew in the hold. With the aid of a marijuana-addled young bandit named Sanchez, Isola frees the crew, which subdues the Mexicans. Isola and Paul sail away together to the United States on the schooner.
