Virginian Outcast Synopsis
In the Deep South, plantation owner Col. Webster, who is in dire financial straits, is offered a loan by wealthy neighbor Sam Logan on the condition that Webster's beautiful daughter, Madonna, marry him. Webster turns down the offer, thus angering Logan, who is further enraged by the fact that Madonna prefers the attentions of a stranger who proclaims himself an outcast from Virginia. After Logan abducts Madonna, she is rescued by the stranger, who is then arrested by the local sheriff for bank robbery and murder. It is then revealed that the stranger is a police official on an undercover operation to apprehend those responsible for counterfeiting and various robberies.
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.
"Virginian Outcast" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
