For the Rights of Man Synopsis
This Nazi propaganda film tells about the "freikorps" movement in post-World War I Germany. Freikorps were armed extreme-right-wing paramilitary groups, often composed of street thugs, ex-convicts and unemployed veterans, who engaged in street battles and assassinations of political opponents, usually leftist or Communist groups. Many of these "freikorps" were absorbed into the S.A. (Storm Troopers) and, later, the SS after Adolf Hitler came to power.
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.
"For the Rights of Man" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
