- A cinematic essay in defense of remembering, The Royal Road offers up a primer on the Spanish colonization of California and the Mexican American War alongside intimate reflections on nostalgia, butch identity, the pursuit of unavailable women and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo - all against a contemplative backdrop of 16mm urban California landscapes, and featuring a voiceover cameo by Tony Kushner. Deceptively simple California urban landscapes serve as the framework for the film's lyrically written voiceover which combines rigorous historical research with a stream-of-consciousness personal monologue and relates these seemingly disparate stories from an intimate, colloquial perspective to tell a one-of-a-kind California tale. Shot on 16mm film and contemplatively crafted of long takes, The Royal Road is a film about landscapes and desire, memory and history - and the stories we tell.

- Captains Bainbridge and Clifford are pals in the same regiment, stationed at Honolulu. Boyhood chums, they joined the Army together and attained an equal rank. Both love the same girl, Marie Wilson, daughter of their colonel. The three young people lived in the same town and grew up together; the two men had agreed long before that neither should pursue Marie. Bainbridge suggests a plan that each shall offer her flowers and the one whose bouquet she accepts first shall have the right to woo her. Marie takes Clifford's flowers first, and later accepts his overtures of love. The seed of jealousy and hate is thus sown in Bainbridge's heart, later to grow into a deadly parasite. Later, the two officers are delegated to carry a confidential letter to Colonel Brown at the Presidio, San Francisco. Marie and her mother decide to avail themselves of the officers' escort to visit friends in the states. Santos, a spy, interested always in the movements of the U.S. Army, observes the two officers embarking for San Francisco and realizes that they must carry important papers. He follows them. The next day a rough sea washes Bainbridge back from the bow, injuring his knee. Santos rescues him and the resultant gratitude opens up the way for the spy to meet the party. Santos recognizes Bainbridge's weakness and plies him with liquor. The officer soon tells of his love for Marie and of the mission that carries him and Clifford to California. Santos plays on the drunken man's mind and agrees to get rid of Clifford. The spy intends at the same time to secure the papers. Santos attacks Clifford, and, with Bainbridge's reluctant help, throws the officer overboard. While Santos is searching the stateroom, a trick of fate makes the steamer strike a derelict. Several passengers, panic-stricken, jump overboard. Lifebuoys are thrown to them and a boat is lowered. One of the buoys drifts near the weakening Clifford. He puts it on and drifts for another day. He is rescued, unconscious and half dead, by a pleasure yacht bound for San Francisco. Clifford's absence is discovered aboard the steamer. They believe he was lost in the panic. Santos learns that Marie is carrying the confidential letter and determines to search her cabin. He secures the papers, but as he is leaving through the window, Marie fires and kills him. Arrived in San Francisco, Marie and Bainbridge deliver the letters to Colonel Brown. Thinking to divert Marie's mind from the tragedy of Clifford's disappearance, Bainbridge orders their machine to pass the fair grounds. Clifford has arrived in the city and starts for the Presidio. He sees Bainbridge and Marie and follows them. Seeing that he cannot escape in the machine. Bainbridge jumps out and tries to hide. He is driven to the platform over the rocks at the Cliff House. Seeing there is no escape and preferring death to arrest, the wretched man leaps over the cliff, down 150 feet to the rocks and waves and death below.

- Professor Henry Kleeblatt, a former biophysicist, trapped in a mental institution, believes that plants can talk. In order to prove that his theory is correct, he builds the Sound Machine, an instrument which can capture high pitched sound waves such as those of plants and converts them into sounds that the human ear can hear. Over the course of the movie we get an inside look at how Kleeblatt's mind works. Through his perspective we see his brief hallucinatory episodes he experiences while he struggles to achieve his goals. The only person who Kleeblatt trusts and openly communicates with is nurse Yolanda. Although she has her own reservations about his ideas, she has developed a soft spot for him and does all she can to support and encourage him. She eventually sets up a meeting with Kleeblatt and the clinic's doctors to give him a chance to prove his theory. As Kleeblatt works vigorously to complete his invention, various technical and emotional problems slowly drive him to the brink of insanity. Sound Machine is a depiction of one man's battle with external and internal demons. Kleeblatt's faith in his machine and his belief in the capacity for plants to communicate with humans is a source of inspiration for Yolanda who befriends him. Still, his beliefs don't coincide with popular social and scientific views and thus Kleeblatt is ultimately persecuted for the action he has taken to support his ideas.
