Prowlers of the Night Synopsis
Sheriff Jack Norton is badly wounded in a gun battle with bandits and is helped by Anita Parsons, the daughter, as he later learns, of the bandit leader. Torn between his love for the girl and his devotion to duty, Jack decides the latter is too strong to resist. He pursues the bandits and gives chase when they rob the town bank. Through clever maneuvering he is able to capture the gang, but Anita's father is slain. Anita, finding that her father was unworthy and that Jack was faithful to his duty, forgives him and becomes his wife.
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.
"Prowlers of the Night" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
