Confidence artist Flossie Golden attempts to fleece foolish but wealthy James Venable with a breach-of-promise suit.

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.
"Gigolete" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
