A Woman's Heart Synopsis
Eve Allen marries John Waring for his money and admits it, as she still has a lasting love for her old sweetheart, Ralph Deane. When the Warings return from their honeymoon, Ralph asks Eve to see him once more, and while driving in the country he breaks down Eve's resistance and she admits she loves him. She goes home and tells John, who begins divorce proceedings. Patsy Allen, Eve's sister, tries to break up Eve's affair with Ralph, as she knows he is keeping company with Vixen, a sensuous woman. Patsy goes to Ralph's home for dinner, where Vixen grows jealous and shoots and kills him while he and John are fighting. John is accused of the murder but is cleared. Vixen commits suicide, and Eve returns to John, now believing that John is the only man for her--not surprising, since Ralph is dead.
Blackmail Synopsis
Confidence artist Flossie Golden attempts to fleece foolish but wealthy James Venable with a breach-of-promise suit. Venable's shrewd attorney, Richard Harding, outwits Flossie by proposing that she marry Venable and live on an allowance of $3,000 per year. Flossie is determined to get even with Harding for ruining her plans. In an attempt to con him, she poses as Innocence Page, but falls in love and marries him instead. Larry, Flossie's former accomplice, endeavors to blackmail her with her errant past, but Harding is already cognizant of the facts and Larry fails.
"A Woman's Heart" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
