Prisoners Synopsis
Austrian cabaret dancer Riza Rigi (Corinne Griffith) is not above a bit of petty thievery once in a while, and she steals to attract the attention of Nicholas Cathy (Ian Keith), a young lawyer she is in love with, who unsuccessfully defends her in court and she is, alas, sent to jail. But she also stole his heart, and he is waiting for her when she is released from jail.
He Did and He Didn't Synopsis
The hero, jilted by his best girl, tries various methods of getting rid of life, but is frustrated at every turn. Finally he lands in jail and is noticed by a pretty philanthropist who gives him the position of butler in her home. After various amusing incidents in connection with a call by one of the girl's admirers, the butler suddenly finds himself heir to a million dollars and wins his benefactress for his wife.
"Prisoners" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "He Did and He Didn't" offers its own unique cult appeal.
