Hard-Hittin' Hamilton Synopsis
Bill Hamilton is on his way to inspect the Lazy-B ranch, which he has inherited, when he collides with the Lazy-B foreman, Buck Wilson, and has a fight with him. Later, while working on Jim Downing's ranch, he foils Wilson's attempts to acquire Downing's mortgage and foreclose. Mary Downing helps by forcing a confession from the man who killed her father, thus clearing Bill of murder charges. Bill protects Mary from Buck just before a rescue party arrives.
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.
"Hard-Hittin' Hamilton" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
