The Wild Girl Synopsis
While taking photographs in the forest, Billy Woodruff meets Pattie, a wild girl who lives in a cabin with her Grandpapa Toto, and their dog, Rex. Although Billy and Pattie are strongly attracted to each other, she is also desired by surly mountaineer Lige Blew, whom she has repeatedly refused. Lige frames Grandpapa Toto for murder, leaving Pattie in his power. Rex alerts Billy, and he rescues Pattie from Lige's advances. Grandpapa Toto is released from jail and Pattie is betrothed to Billy.
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 Wild Girl" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
