West of the Rainbow's End Synopsis

While Brandon is in France in the World War, Palmer kills his father and appropriates the family ranch. Returning from the war, Brandon regains his ranch, overcomes Palmer, and wins the girl.

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.

Verdict & Recommendation

"West of the Rainbow's End" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Blackmail" offers its own unique cult appeal.
