Why Women Remarry Synopsis
Martin Talbot, a gambler who mistreats and neglects his family, is killed by Tuck McKinnon, but the blame falls on Don Compton, who holds a grudge against the victim and is found with the murder weapon. Policeman Dan Hannon eventually solves the crime while taking an interest in Mary Talbot and her children. The wives involved in the case all find new husbands: Mary Talbot marries Dan; Mrs. Compton realizes that Robert Milton, the sweetheart of her youth, is more understanding of her charitable work; jazz-crazed Mrs. McKinnon finds happiness with a musician named Billy; and Dan's sister seeks happiness with a new mate.
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.
"Why Women Remarry" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
