The Girl from Havana Synopsis
Joan Anders, a girl detective for a jewelers' protective association, poses as a chorus girl in a musical comedy troupe to capture a gang of jewel thieves. On a steamer from Los Angeles to Havana, Joan falls in love with Allan Grant, one of the suspected crooks. After the gang has been apprehended, Grant is revealed to be the son of a murdered jeweler who fell in with the gang to track down the murderer.
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 Girl from Havana" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
