The Runaway Express Synopsis
Amidst the throbbing thunder of the express-train engines, and the activities at the station, the roundhouse, the dispatcher's office and the switch-room, a young train engineer, Joe Foley, falls in love with Norah Kelly, the pretty Irish waitress at the Junction Cafe.
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 Runaway Express" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
