The Foolish Virgin Synopsis
Jim Owens (Robert Frazer), a reformed thief and successful inventor, meets quiet, meek, refined Mary Adams (Elaine Hammerstein) at a jazz party. They fall in love and all goes well until she finds out about his sordid past. Only after he rescues her from a blazing forest fire does she forgive him and confirm her love for him.
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 Foolish Virgin" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
