Skyfire Synopsis
Canadian Mountie Barr Conroy ( Neal Hart ) heads to the lawless trading post Skyfire in search of the killer of one of his comrades. There he is pursued by a man who believes that Conroy has insulted the man's daughter, Marette ( Rita Pickering ). In fact, Marette's persecutor is trader Jean Beaupre ( William Quinn ), who is also the killer that Conroy seeks. Conroy eventually clears himself, gets his man, and marries Marette.
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.
"Skyfire" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
