The Cowboy Ace Synopsis
Returning from her eastern school to her father's ranch, Ethel Filson meets and falls in love with Bill Gaston. She learns that Red Bush badly needs the $1,000 in a roundup contest and persuades Bill to allow Red to win. Red later returns the favor by using his airplane to help Bill find Ethel, who has been kidnapped by Snake Bullard. Bill punishes Snake, and all hands agree that Red's purchase of his airplane with his prize money was "a good buy."
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.
"The Cowboy Ace" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
