Battlin' Buckaroo Synopsis
Judd Strivers owns the Palos Verdes Rancho, and his pretty daughter, Mary, is being courted by ranch manager Buck Carson. May refuses his advances, having promised to marry cowboy Jack Merrill. What neither Mary nor her father know is that Carson is secretly the head of a gang rustling cattle from the ranch. Carson kidnaps Mary, and then convinces her father that Jack is actually the man rustling his cattle.
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.
"Battlin' Buckaroo" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
