Three Sevens Synopsis
Daniel Craig, known as Convict 777, is sentenced to twenty years in prison for a crime he did not commit. He escapes during a prison uprising, which forces the removal of the cruel warden, Samuel Green, and he is replaced by Major Jerome Gracie. Upon returning to prison, Daniel falls in love with the new warden's daughter, Joan Gracie, and she inspires him to aid in the capture of five hardened criminals who escaped in the riot. Later, Warden Green's son, Brewster, is found guilty of the crime for which Daniel had been convicted.
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.
"Three Sevens" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
