Three Black Eyes Synopsis
Four wealthy young men--Larry Van Cortlandt, Castleton, "Fatty" Harriman, and Payne--become intoxicated in a cabaret where munitions maker Stanhope Shelton is giving a party for his daughter Natalie. Larry is attracted to Natalie, but he is ejected with his friends before he can secure an introduction. Plainclothes detective Hogan vows to capture Larry, who seeks asylum on his yacht with his friends. After the crew quits, Larry and his friends handle the boat. The next morning Castleton and Payne place a "for hire" sign on the boat and the Sheltons engage it. Larry teaches Natalie to steer and runs into several boats in the process. Four people in the Shelton party turn out to be burglars and rob the other guests. Meanwhile, two other crooks rob the Shelton mansion. Larry manages to capture all the crooks at the Shelton home, and he wins over both Natalie and her father.
Love, Hate and a Woman Synopsis
Daryl Sutherland, in the guise of a society belle, makes the acquaintance of young artist John Lockwood at an exclusive mountain resort. Their friendship drifts into mutual attraction until Mrs. Ramsey, a devotee of the artist, determines to win his attentions and exposes Daryl as a cloak model. Daryl manages to protect Mrs. Ramsey from her irate husband by claiming that Lockwood is her husband. Later, Daryl suspects that he is the seducer of her dying sister; but following a series of dramatic incidents, Lockwood is exonerated and a happy reunion results.
"Three Black Eyes" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Love, Hate and a Woman" offers its own unique cult appeal.
