Nenavist Synopsis
Early 1930s. A strike breaks out in one of the oil fields. The Romanian oil owners, interested in the strike, through the bribed deputy of the Polish Sejm, Staszewski, are trying to oppose the acceptance of the workers' demands and thus the end of the strike. The oil fields are transferred to the Polish military department. With the assistance of the same Stashevsky, now bribed by the Minister of War, the strike is suppressed with the help of regular army troops and gas bombs. The military industry receives the oil it needs, and the deputies of the Diet, despite the protest of the communists, finally approve the project to increase the armament.
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.
"Nenavist" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
