Poor Mrs. Jones Synopsis
Tired of her grueling and unglamorous day-to-day life as a rural housewife, Jane Jones takes a vacation to the city where she stays with her sister Hattie, and her ideals of the city are dispelled.
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.
"Poor Mrs. Jones" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
