Seeing It Through Synopsis
Betty Lawrence lives with her invalid mother on property that cuts into a large estate owned by Jim Carrington. Because of financial difficulties, Betty leases the ground to Bogrum, a crooked moneylender, sends her mother to the sanitarium and goes to work for the moneylender. When Betty's mother dies, Bogrum piles up debts against the Lawrence property and succeeds in swindling Betty out of her land. Information supplied by Bolter, Bogrum's secretary, leads Jim Carrington, who is in love with Betty, to investigate. After Bogrum's crooked dealings are exposed, he is imprisoned, and Betty and Carrington join their property through matrimony.
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.
"Seeing It Through" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
