The Fighting Guide Synopsis
While impersonating Lord Winston, his client, Ned Lightning, a guide, discovers a plot to pin a charge of murder on John MacDonald and to deprive his daughter, Ethel, of her valuable land. Ned investigates, finds the evidence to free MacDonald, exposes Grant Knowles as swindler and murderer, and is made the new manager of Lord Winston's trading company as a reward.
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 Fighting Guide" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
