The Big Gamble Synopsis
To escape gambling debt, Alan agrees to let mobster North insure his life for $100k and commit suicide after a year. Forced to marry Beverly, watched by hitman Squint, Alan falls in love and wants to live.
What Every Woman Learns Synopsis
Because Amy Fortesque's dying grandfather advises her to get all the joys out of life, she marries Dick Gaylord because he is funny, rather than Walter Melrose, a staid young lawyer who loves her. Gaylord turns out to be a heavy drinker who treats his wife poorly. He tricks Melrose into a meeting in Amy's room, and in a drunken state he shoots him. Amy seizes the gun and kills Gaylord, but she eventually is found innocent of the crime and seeks happiness with Melrose.
"The Big Gamble" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "What Every Woman Learns" offers its own unique cult appeal.
