You Never Saw Such a Girl Synopsis
After her stepfather's death, orphan Marty McKenzie and her companion, teacher Fannie Perkins, find themselves in financial straits. To raise money, they rebuild an old van and travel in it selling antiques. In the process of finding antiques, they discover an old trunk containing information that Marty is the granddaughter of wealthy Mrs. Burgess. Marty and Fannie locate Mrs. Burgess' home, but when Marty finally meets Mrs. Burgess, the welcome is decidedly uncordial. Marty is actually only the granddaughter of the woman's late husband, and Mrs. Burgess wants to keep the estate inheritance solely for her son Eric, an Army aviator home on furlough. Marty and Eric fall in love, and Mrs. Burgess withdraws her opposition.
The Black Crook Synopsis
Amina loves Rudolph and turns the powerful Count Wolfenstein down when he proposes to her. In a jealous rage, Wolfenstein throws Rudolph into a dungeon. Meanwhile, Hertzog, "The Black Crook," has a deal with the devil: he must hand over to Satan one soul each year or find himself banished to Hell. With only 24 hours left before the year ends, Hertzog focuses all of his attention on Amina and Rudolph, believing them to be weakened from despair and therefore easy prey.
"You Never Saw Such a Girl" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Black Crook" offers its own unique cult appeal.
