Young King Cole Synopsis
The "Kid'' is abroad. First he has a couple of rounds with old King Booze which results in his girl giving him a K. O. punch. In the big scene he fights a Frenchman who puts dope on his gloves which causes the Kid to be unable to see distinctly. He gropes around with his eyes nearly closed and takes a good beating while resting his eyes, but finally comes back with a mighty wallop and wins the fight.
The Miracle of Life Synopsis
When a young bride, newly entered into society, discovers she is pregnant, she consults an old friend on the most effective means of abortion. The friend gives her a potent drug, and that night the woman locks herself in her room, presses the potion bottle to her lips, falls across her bed and begins to dream. In her dream, her husband finds out about her abortion and demands a divorce. Years pass and the woman, now decrepit and alone, is visited by the ghost of her "Child-That-Might-Have-Been." The ghost takes her on a spiritual journey where she sees her husband, who is remarried and happy with his own family, hundreds of smiling babies wrapped in flowers in Babyland, and finally her own death and damnation. At her demise, she wakes from her nightmare, joyful to find the drug untouched, and rushes to tell her husband about her impending motherhood.
"Young King Cole" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Miracle of Life" offers its own unique cult appeal.
