Sir Lumberjack Synopsis
Bill Barlow, Jr., a wealthy young spendthrift out of favor with his father, sets out to prove himself at his father's lumber camp but is waylaid by tramps who steal his clothes. When he arrives, no one believes his identity, and his father reports that his son has never worked. Rescuing Bess Calhoun from the path of a log, he learns of a plot to gain control of the Calhoun timber through a mortgage and incurs the enmity of Mack, the camp bully. Mack forces Calhoun to an agreement, but Bill borrows the mortgage money and overtakes Mack on a logging engine, pays off the mortgage, sells the property to his father, and wins the hand of Bess.
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.
"Sir Lumberjack" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
