His Official Fiancée Synopsis
Without explanation, William "Still" Waters, the head of a London business, asks stenographer Monica Trant to be his "official fiancée" for 500 pounds. Monica agrees, in order to help support her brother. Monica is introduced to Waters' family at his home. She charms his mother and other relatives, and even wins over the reserved Waters, but she soon resents the business nature of their proposition and returns to London. Waters then explains the reason for the strange request: A foreign business client had selected him for the husband of his daughter and in order to secure the business deal Waters thought a prior engagement was the easiest way out. Monica forgives him and agrees to be his fiancée in earnest.
The Black Crook Synopsis
Amina loves Rudolph and turns the powerful Count Wolfenstein down when he proposes to her. In a jealous rage, Wolfenstein throws Rudolph into a dungeon. Meanwhile, Hertzog, "The Black Crook," has a deal with the devil: he must hand over to Satan one soul each year or find himself banished to Hell. With only 24 hours left before the year ends, Hertzog focuses all of his attention on Amina and Rudolph, believing them to be weakened from despair and therefore easy prey.
"His Official Fiancée" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "The Black Crook" offers its own unique cult appeal.
